Fries are my all-time favorite snack and what I absolutely LOVE to indulge in. Any time I see fries on the menu, I have to order them because, well.. I just can’t resist lol. From regular salted fries to poutine to stacked and loaded fries, I love them all.
I wanted to combine my favorite snack with ingredients that are near and dear to my heart, so after a few rounds of testing, I was finally able to make something that is not only absolutely delicious but something I’m super proud of!
These Loaded Kimchi Fries are STACKED with so many layers of flavor, and it’s the perfect ‘treat yourself’ snack! It’s layered with perfectly crisp fries, kimchi that’s been sauteed in butter, a creamy, delicious garlicky, spicy mayo sauce, aromatics for some freshness, and a runny egg because…why not?

Everything comes together in just 15 minutes, so you can spend less time cooking and more time enjoying. These fries are great because minimal prep is needed, and it saves me a ton of time when a fries craving strikes. If you want to spice up your fries, give this a try!
