Cacio E Pepe Crispy Air Fryer Chips

October 03

The trick is to toss the chips in the Parm as soon as they come out of the basket in order for the steam to soften the cheese to give it any chance to coat them.

  • serves Serves 4
  • time 30mins

Method

  1. 1. Preheat the airfryer to 170˚C/350˚F and cook the fries for 18 - 20 minutes. Slide out the basket halfway through cooking time and shake.
  2. 2. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter with the pepper and salt in 20-second intervals in the microwave until fully melted, stirring between each interval as needed.
  3. 3. Once the fries are cooked, place them in a large bowl and toss them with the melted butter. Add the cheeses and stir until combined. Serve with additional cheese and black pepper on top, as desired.

Ingredients

1 bag frozen skin-on fries

1/2 stick unsalted butter

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for garnishing

Animal Style Fries

February 05

Animal style has been one of the most popular secret menu options at In n Out Burger for many years! Perfectly cooked fries topped with loads of melted cheese, grilled onions and a huge dollop of a thousand island style sauce is junk food at it’s best! Here is my attempt to recreate this classic.

Sweet Potato Fries

July 02

Sweet potato fries or chips are one of my all time favourite comfort foods. They are much better for you than traditional chips especially as they are roasted and not fried. I like to toss them in some cajun seasoning and add a few thyme leaves for extra flavour before roasting in the oven but they are just as tasty with simple salt & pepper.

Pork Banh Mi Burger with Garlic & Chilli Skinny Fries

February 21

There is often a misconception that LA is all green juices and salad bowls or high end swanky restaurants with valet and velvet ropes. While yes, those spots exist, the beating heart of the food scene in the sprawling city was in little strip mall diners, cafe’s and casual dining restaurants. One of favourites was the now closed Good Girl Dinette in Highland Park. It’s chef and owner Diep Tran served up bowls of pho with bone marrow, savoury Viet porridges, banh mi sandwiches and some of the most amazing fries tossed in chilli, garlic and coriander.  The Pork Banh Mi Burger recipe I share here is an ode to that brilliant little diner and makes for a great treat Friday supper for the family.
