Garlic Crab French Fries with Garlic Aioli
I went to a local wine and food festival last fall and one of the restaurants there was featuring delicious crab fries. Crab is something I would of never thought of to put on french fries but it was amazing. I vowed right after finishing what we’d orderedthat I was goingto make a clone of the recipe. I had stood off to the side and watched them prepare them and asked a few questions. I think these are better than the ones we had and the Alexia Smart Classic Crinkle Cut Fries are one of the reasons. These are so good baked, I love them! Now that it is crab season here it is the perfect time to make this recipe.
You’ll find Alexia French Fries in the frozen food section where the potatoes are. Alexia fries are of the highest quality and they are made of the highest quality ingredients. I love all of their products and have been buying them for several years. TheirAlexia Sweet Potato Fries with Sea Saltare the sweetest, I prefer them over my fresh ones. They are so good just as they are or I love dipping them in a littlerealmaple syrup. TheAlexia Crispy Onion Ringsare coated in crunch panko and can be baked as well for homemade tasting onion rings in about 15 minutes to go with a sandwich for dinner or even a snack! Try any of their products and I don’t believe you will be disappointed in the taste and quality of any of their products.
I stopped by my local Walmart store to pick up someAlexia Classic Cut Crinkle Fries because I knew they would perfect for this recipe. I baked the fries instead of fryingthemlike the restaurant does and they still were as crispy as the deep fried. I also reduced the amount of oil the fries were bathed in, while really good so unnecessary, I used fresh garlic and let it marinate in the oil so I got a more intense garlic flavor and was able to use less butter/oil than the original. They used oil so I changed it up there also to half butter and half olive oil. Next comes that delicate tastingcrab. Thena delicious garlic aioli to add a touch of richness.I can make these for dinnerwith a salad and call it good. The recipe is scaled for 2 servings or 4 appetizer servings. This would make a great starter with a glass of wine. If you have never tried crab and french fries together you are in are for a new taste sensation!
