The Exciting Trend of Fry Bags on National Fry Day
Every July 11, the vibrant tradition of
National French Fry Day calls for celebration, and this year, we have something particularly exciting to highlight –
Fry Bags! Developed by Potatoes USA, Fry Bags have taken the classic snack and transformed it into a fun, interactive experience that promises to add a burst of flavor to your delicious fries.
What Exactly are Fry Bags?
Fry Bags combine hot, crispy fries with an array of spices, all tucked into a bag for a unique snacking experience. The concept is simple yet innovative; you take a serving of fries, sprinkle on your choice of seasonings, and shake! It’s a delightful blend of convenience and customization that allows you to enjoy your favorite fries in an entirely new way.
91% of Americans either love or like fries, making them a universal favorite. As highlighted by Chef RJ Harvey, Director of Culinary at Potatoes USA, the Fry Bag delivers on flavor, seasoning, and spice. The best part? It’s fully customizable!
How to Make Your Own Fry Bags
Creating a Fry Bag is a straightforward process:
1.
Choose Your Fries: Start by selecting your preferred fry type – whether you opt for store-bought frozen fries or order fresh from your favorite local eatery.
2.
Heating: For optimal taste, heat the fries until they are hot and crispy. This can be achieved through an air fryer, which enhances their texture even further.
3.
Bag It: Place the heated fries in a simple paper bag, perhaps even the one they came in from a restaurant!
4.
Seasoning Time: Add in your favorite spice blend. This could be anything from classic salt to more adventurous seasonings.
5.
Enjoy: You can enjoy them straight from the bag or pour them onto a plate if you prefer a less casual approach.
Endless Flavor Combinations
One of the biggest appeals of Fry Bags is the endless possibilities for flavor profiles. For an exciting start, try the
Firecracker Fry Bag, which features smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and topped off with crushed spicy chips. It's a hit that friends will love to share, or you may want to keep it all to yourself!
Other favorite variations include:
- - Pickle-Seasoned Fries
- - Ramen-Seasoned Fries
- - Churro Fries

These enticing flavor combinations cater to all tastes, from spicy to sweet.
