Ingredients

Sriracha Aioli:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons Sriracha or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Volcano Fries:
  • 1 (26-to-28-ounce) bag frozen fries
  • 2 tablespoons canola or other neutral-flavored oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic  (packed, about 3 medium to large cloves)
  • ½ tablespoon Furikake Seasoning

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. First, make the sriracha aioli by combining all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Either cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to use, or transfer to a condiment squeeze bottle, piping bag or ziplock bag and refrigerate that until ready to use.
  2. Bake or air fry the frozen fries according to the directions on the bag.
  3. Right before the fries are ready, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and garlic and cook just until slightly fragrant but not browned at all, about 30 to 60 seconds. Immediately remove from the heat.
  4. Remove the fries from the oven or air fryer and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Top the fries with the oil and garlic mixture and toss to lightly coat.
  5. Transfer the garlic fries to a serving dish and drizzle or squeeze (if in a condiment bottle, piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner cut) the sriracha aioli over the top. Finish with a generous sprinkling of furikake and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The nutritional information is based on 6 servings using regular Hellman's/Best Foods mayonnaise. I like to use their light mayo, which would result in less fat and calories than what I've shared above.
  • They use fairly standard french fries at Nalu’s but Volcano Fries would also be tasty made with skinny or shoestring fries or even crinkle cut fries, if you prefer. You could also try it with tater tots!
  • You can purchase furikake in the Asian section of many grocery stores (even Trader Joe’s has it in their spice section), online, or make it yourself.
