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 #milkshake Salted Chocolate PB Shake & Spicy Fries #vegan #glutenfree #chocolate #milkshake In 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 #milkshake The 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??

Day 4 Vegan MoFo: Spicy Oven Fries
 
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
 
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.

  3. Transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer.
