Making 4 Meals With Leftover Fries

Last time, we went crazy with one baguette. This time, I'm back to see how many things I can make with leftover fries, another one of my ultimate favorites. Frittatas, soups... even okonomiyaki; it's a real adventure. - Inga

A few days ago I had some leftover fries, so I crisped them up, put on some cheese, some bone meat from some pho I made at home, a spicy thousand island fry sauce, some onion, cabbage, and scallions. Best fries ever.

The problem I have is I never get into a situation where I have leftover fries

[bbrittmitchelll]

I like how all of these were very brunch-appropriate. Like… drinks and pub fare the night before, leftover fries for hangover brunch.

I use leftover fries to make hashbrowns: mix cornstarch and water to make enough slurry to cover the fries, season with salt and pepper if desired, cut them into small pieces (I go for cubes) and cover/soak in the slurry (add paprika for a kick), fry in plenty of oil. Very good with eggs or added to a breakfast burrito!

Who knew you can make something elegant yet still tasty out of some greasy fries? Inga is a leftover genius, if I say so myself.

[gregmuon]

Frittata is definitely the Italian fried rice. Uses up the leftover veggies, but tastes delicious if well done, so no one minds. Never tried french fries in mine, but next time maybe I'll give it a try.

[zeke]

Every time they are using parmesan, I can't help but think that it is still from that wheel of cheese that Andrew bought ages ago 🤣🤣

[aestille]

Missed opportunity to call it a friettata. :)

[tetra-doesnt-laugh]

I always thought of frittata as just an inferior quiche but seeing that slightly custardy slice of eggs and filling has changed my mind. I also love how easy it looks to make in a 10 inch cast-iron.

[spzaruba]

The addition of cream and fresh vegetables was a great call. The inherent saltiness would have been overwhelming.

I like how she addresses the things about the dish that she thought could be better. Great video

[swit]

At first I was a little disappointed you didn't do poutine, but I'm actually glad you gave us so many other ideas!

[janetshepherd]

I love frittata - I’ve been making it since the 90’s. My favourite has baby spinach, par boiled potato, onion, garlic and fresh basil. And I also make a sandwich with leftover frittata- it works so well with bread ❤️

[liasori]

omg plz do more of this my mom always saves leftovers and rarly eats it bc she doesnt know how to revise them so this is great inspo!

4:13 that kewpie mayo made senpai kai happy for sure

[Hasmanian]

Of course Inga manages to work bread into a "how to use something that's not bread" video. 😁

[ribofen]

This video has really really good ideas! Often if I have them at home there's always too much, and at dinner, the fries are cold and greasy, yet if refried they'd be too dry and hard. Looks like the solution was to just let it go "soggy" and revert to potatoes.

[FairyLizzie]

Frittatas are the BEST for leftover! Never heard of "frittata di pasta"? Yes. It's a frittata made with leftover cooked pasta (anykind). DELICIOUS!

[victoriamahon]

My favorite thing to do with leftover fries is like a hash. I’ll fry them like home fries with onions in a pan and then add some eggs it’s really good really easy and a great way to use them up without a ton of extra ingredients or work. The okonomiyaki looks delicious though!

[Neoxon]

I might actually steal that frittata recipe, it looks delicious. Although funny enough, I’ve never had a frittata before.

That said, my main question is where you got those fries in the first place. They kinda look like Whataburger fries, but I’m pretty sure Whataburger isn’t a thing in New York.
