Ingredients

Fries

  • 3
    medium potatoes†
  • 2
    nori seaweed sheets, cut into small pieces
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL)
    vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp (2 g)
    onion powder
  • ¼ tsp
    salt
  • ¼ tsp
    ground black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp
    cayenne pepper

Hoisin mayo

Sriracha mayo

Optional garnish

  • toasted sesame seeds
  • sliced green onion

Directions

  1. Cut the potatoes into strips, about ½ inch (1½ cm) thick*. Try to cut the fries in similar thicknesses, so they cook evenly.
  2. Line two baking trays and preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C)**.
  3. Optionally, for crunchier fries, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain, then dry well using a clean kitchen cloth.
  4. Transfer to the baking trays, and toss with the remaining fry ingredients. Leave as much room as possible between the potatoes on the tray***.
  5. Bake for 40 - 45 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Stop to give them a gentle flip once halfway.
  6. Meanwhile, combine the hoisin mayo ingredients in a small bowl.
  7. To make the Sriracha mayo, combine vegan mayo with the hot sauce in another small bowl.
  8. When the potatoes are done, sprinkle with a dash more salt, transfer to a plate, and serve with the dipping sauces. Enjoy!

Notes

  • †Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work especially well for baking.
  • * If desired, keep the skin on the potatoes for extra crispiness and fibre.
  • ** We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection).
  • *** If over-crowded, the steam doesn't allow the fries to crisp.

Storage

  • Best enjoyed immediately.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, then re-heat in the oven to retain crispiness.

These are so creative! Today's my husband's birthday and he loved them! Two tips: Use onion and garlic powder along with the cayenne pepper. I made two batches, and they were so different in taste and flavor! Also, use sea salt flakes or sea salt from the fresh grinder after you finish baking them. It makes it that much crunchier. Oh, and dip them in the Cheesecake dip on this website (a little unorthodox, but pretty good)

Love,
Amy Cole

Hey Jm, you can use sweet potatoes if you'd like. In case you're interested, we have a general oven-roasted sweet potato recipe here: https://www.pickuplimes.com/r… 😊

Love these. We made them alongside the roasted edamame beans ans the Korean pancakes. The nori sheets are inspired! Thank you.

hi - July 31, 2022, 9 p.m.

how do you make vegan mayo from scratch?

PUL small logo PUL Team - July 31, 2022, 9:58 p.m.

Hey there, thanks for the question! Vegan mayonnaise recipes usually include soy milk or aquafaba with vinegar and oil. There are lots of recipes online which may be helpful for exact measurements and ideas depending on what ingredients are accessible. In the meantime, we'll note down vegan mayo as an idea for future content which we can hopefully share soon 🙂

I have made these healthy version of fries so many times for my family, every time a hit! The toasted nori taste of seaweed crisps which is just divine with the onion powder and mesh of crunch yet soft potato texture. We make this on the regular.
