Ultimate Pizza Fries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who needs pizza, when you can have pizza fries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's the weekend and you are craving pizza. So what do you do? Don't blow it and ruin your perfectly good day - make my delicious Pizza fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the great components of any pizza, but using delicious crispy homemade oven-baked fries as your base instead of pizza dough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect combination for those who love pizza and fries!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect Potatoes for Homemade Fries (Chips)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So what the best potatoes for fries (chips)? My favorites here in North America are either Russets or Yukon Golds. The latter being my preferred choice because they have a lovely golden yellow colour to the flesh and an amazing buttery flavour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the UK a similar variety to Yukon Gold's would be Elfe Potatoes. Other great choices are Maris Piper or King Edwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain potatoes I do find need parboiling before baking to really get that lovely golden crisp colour and I tend to do that with Russets, but yukon golds I just soak in cold water for about an hour, fully rinse and pat dry before baking and they are perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get the perfect fries shape<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I cheat and use handy KitchenCraft Potato Chipper, French Fry Vegetable Cutter\/Dicer Machine<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, it's so quick and each fry is the perfect shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It has two blades, one for a chunkier chip, the other for a fries size, I use the smallest blade for these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don't even need to peel the potatoes if you don't want to, just pop them in with the skin on if you prefer. It is all good fibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My kids prefer skin off though, so when making these for the whole family I peel them to keep everyone happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Pizza Sauce<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gotta love a homemade pizza sauce for you topping and this Homemade Pizza Sauce<\/a><\/strong> is just the best. It is perfect for making in advance and freezing as you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make these pizza fries in a hurry though, a very quick a simple no-cook pizza sauce is just:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
