Ingredients

Fries:

  • 2 medium russet potatoes cut into strips
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil more as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon course sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Caramelized Kimchi:

  • 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 cup kimchi liquid squeezed out (see note)

Spicy Mayonnaise:

  • 1/4 cup organic mayonnaise store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha

Everything Else:

  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 small onion sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon black and white sesame seeds for garnish
  • 1 avocado thinly sliced or diced
  • Optional: Sprinkle Nori dried seaweed on top as a garnish

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees °F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, toss potatoes in spices.
  • Lay potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with additional spices if desired. Bake for 45 minutes, or until crispy. Toss every 15-20 minutes and make sure there is a good amount of space between each potato.
  • Combine kimchi ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Heat a medium skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the kimchi to the pan and cook over high heat until the kimchi has browned, about 4-5 minutes. Take off heat, roughly chop and set aside until ready to assemble.
  • In a small mixing bowl, mix Sriracha and mayo until well combined.
  • Place baked fries in a desired serving dish. Top with cheese if using, onions, cilantro, caramelized kimchi, avocado, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with spicy mayo and serve!
