Dreaming of French Fries

I'm an Idaho girl who loves French fries. Look at this pile of goodness. Idaho potatoes, sprinkled with salt, shaved Parmesan cheese, candied bacon and a balsamic vinegar reduction. This plate was seriously my whole dinner at Edge Brewing - a new place in town.

Idaho French Fries

Fresh-cut Idaho potatoes, deep-fried. It doesn't get any better than this. These fries were served up in Eastern Idaho at the Opal Country Cafe. Eastern Idaho is where most of the state's potatoes are grown. Nom. Nommity. Nom.

Blueberry Ketchup

We finally made it to Boise Fry Co. on my French fry tour. This is their mobile fry unit - we ate inside the restaurant.
We had regular red lady friends and Russet homestyle fries. My daughter wants to go back and order yam fries. My husband ordered a bison burger "on the side."

And this is a gem: blueberry ketchup. Boise Fry Co. has many seasoned salts and dipping sauces available. I liked the red lady fries the best with plain salt!

French Fry Tour Day Two

Shudder. Ugh. I guess I had to get this out of the way because I have big plans for gourmet French fries this weekend. I'm on a French fry tour of the Boise area as a salute to Idaho. Suggestions for the best fries in town? Pass them along!

Eat Boise Mission: French Fry Tour

I swear these used to taste better to me than they do now. McDonald's still does an O-K job, though. I'm on a mission to sample all the French fries I can over the next two weeks. It's a salute to our potato state.
