What to serve with dill french fries
These dill french fries are so versatile and pair well with almost anything. We especially love eating them with a homemade burger like our lemon salmon burgers or chicken feta spinach burger .
They also make a delicious afternoon or game-day snack with other appetizers like shrimp cakes with lemon aioli , chorizo-stuffed mushroom caps , or buffalo turkey meatballs .
Here’s what you’ll need to make french fries with dill
The dill French fries take just four simple ingredients: Potatoes, olive oil, dill, and sea salt.
This is everything you’ll need for the tangy lemon dill dip : Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, garlic, and sea salt.
Tip : Scrub the potatoes; There’s no need to peel them. Then cut the potatoes into ½ inch sticks. For crispier fries , you can rinse the cut potatoes until cold water a few times then dry them using a salad spinner.
