We've picked loaded or dirty fries from restaurant menus loads of times, but have never made them at home…until now! Quite a lot of recipe options came up when I googled ‘dirty fries’, but I settled on this one I found on The English Kitchen website as the flavours of Worcestershire sauce and Cajun seasoning sounded very different but appealing all at the same time. The smell of the chips cooking in the oven is amazing and the end result is absolutely delicious. We’ve enjoyed them as a side to our steak and bacon burger – see the link below to the recipe. More burger recipes are being added...watch out for them!
I have adapted the recipe slightly by using fresh potatoes cut into chips and parboiling them then cooking them in the oven, similar to our chunky oven chips, instead of using frozen fries. I’ve also written the recipe to serve 2 people instead of 4.
