Day 4 Vegan MoFo: Salted PB Chocolate Shake + Spicy Oven Fries

September 4, 2015 By Jessica DeMarra 10 Comments

Day 4 of Vegan MoFo is all about Weird Food Combos. While I have never had pickles and peanut butter or a banana-mayo sandwich, I did have a love affair with my fries dipped in a milkshake. The hot salted fried pairs well with the cold sweet milkshake. Seriously!Salted Chocolate PB Shake & Spicy Fries #vegan #glutenfree #chocolate #milkshake Salted Chocolate PB Shake & Spicy Fries #vegan #glutenfree #chocolate #milkshakeSalted Chocolate PB Shake & Spicy Fries #vegan #glutenfree #chocolate #milkshakeIn high school, my friends and I would head down to the Wendy’s to get an order of fries with a Frosty. We didn’t eat the Frosty until our fries were gone and all individually dipped in the cool chocolatey mixture. While I wouldn’t eat at a fast food place now, the love of fries has not diminished.

I wanted to make oven fries since deep frying at home is pretty unsafe and I am sure I would set a small fire in my kitchen. At first, I was setting my oven a little too low for those really crispy fries that I wanted so be not afraid of cranking your oven up! Also it is important to make sure that you preheat your oven so the potatoes go into a hot oven to achieve maximum crispiness. You can omit the spice mixture and just use salt if you don’t like spicy foods.Salted Chocolate PB Shake & Spicy Fries #vegan #glutenfree #chocolate #milkshakeThe milkshake is simple and unlike diner-style milkshakes, this one does not have any dairy or refined sugars. The salted peanut butter and chocolate combination is the best as any Reese’s cup lover would understand. The bananas make the milkshake thick and creamy. What would we vegans do without bananas??Salted Chocolate PB Shake & Spicy Oven Fries #vegan #glutenfree #chocolate #milkshakeWhat weird food combos do you love?

Crispy fries in the oven are possible! Deep frying at home can be dangerous so opt for oven fries instead. These fries are made with russet potatoes since they have a high starch level which results in a crispier fry. They are seasoned with a spicy mixture of paprika, garlic powder, and ancho chili powder. If you don't like spice, feel free to omit the ancho. Served with the milkshake above or ketchup.

Recipe type: Sides
Cuisine: vegan, gluten free
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 2 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into fries (peels on)
  • 1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ancho chili powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, coat the cut potatoes with the oil, salt, and spices.
  3. Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Remove from oven once they are golden and crispy. Depending on how thick you cut your fries, the cooking time will vary. After you flip them, keep an eye on them. No one likes burnt fries!!
  6. Serve with the milkshake above or ketchup.

    Wow! That’s a really weird combo. I’m definitely intrigued though =)
    My fries never come out crispy, so I’m excited to follow your recipe and see if I can get them a little crispier.
    Your shake sounds amazing!

    I too, was a lover of dipping fries into a milkshake. I used always get a chocolate shake for fry dipping.

    I love the sound of that salted P&B shake. Yum!

      They can be enjoyed on their own or together, but together is the best!

    Love it! I think shakes & fries are an excellent combo – especially the pb-chocolate shake. Yumm! What a wonderful idea.
