  1. Yum – that looks like the perfect comfort meal!!
    So, weird fact, Jordan (my 16 year old) doesn’t like potatoes which means he doesn’t like fries. It kind of creeps me out:)

  2. I have an ultimate weakness when it comes to fries and when you smother them with all these delicious goodies these are seriously the fries of my dreams! I love that you used Alexia curly and spicy sweet potato, those are my favorite! Yum, I’ll just take the whole pan and be on my way 🙂

  3. Dude! These look amazing, Shashi! March may very well be my favorite sports month of the year…and I’m thinking I need a big pan of these smothered & covered fries to help get me through the marathon of basketball games. (I’m guessing lil Shashi is more the March Madness fan than you? Hehe…) And yes, I guess foodie culture in the US (particularly in the South) is a bit odd. But you know what? I wouldn’t trade it for anything! I miss some good down home Southern cookin…which is why I have to recreate it in my kitchen. And I’ll be starting with these fries soon! I love Alexia’s onion rings, too. 🙂

    1. You guessed right David – Lil Shashi is the one who keeps up with the sports – I keep up with the food! 😉
      I saw those onion rings – but they have flour in their batter and Lil Shashi has issues (with flour) so that’s why I didn’t pick them up – but the fries are gonna be on our menu everytime we have a gathering or a “get togther” like Lil Shashi says!

    1. You are right – the portion sizes are crazy – but for a broke college student that meant like 3 meals from one! 😉 My sister moved to Texas from NYC about a year ago and she said the portion sizes in TX were a shock to her too!

  4. haha, love that your first food-shock was with biscuits! light and fluffy is way better, huh? 🙂 I love Alexia fries and must try the Spicy Sweet Potato Fries!!! love that you smothered these babies. . looks soo good!!!

    1. Thanks so much, Alice, while I won’t say no to light and fluffy biscuits – my heart leans towards those crunchy, creme filled ones…I blame my sweet tooth! 🙂

  5. It is funny how technically American English and British English are the same language, but they are so different! Although, I wouldn’t have known what scattered, smothered, and covered were either!

    1. Haha – time sure is the great healer right Asha – even when it comes to food shock! You know,when my daughter and I were in San Fran, we had THE BEST chowder and fish tacos -ever!

  6. Smothered and covered would suit me down to the ground. I had a similar taste shock when I moved to Australia but now my palate has changed so much it would be difficult to eat in Atlanta again. 🙂
