National French Fries Day: 9 Irresistible French Fry Combos You’ll Want To Try

French fries might just be the perfect food. They are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and an ideal canvas for flavor experiments. National French Fries Day gives us the perfect excuse to transform this humble side dish into something extraordinary.
That is why I’ve gathered nine mouthwatering French fry combinations that will bring your celebration from ordinary to unforgettable.
1. Loaded Breakfast Fries

Crispy French fries topped with scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, melted cheddar, and a drizzle of maple syrup create the ultimate breakfast-meets-lunch experience. The sweet-savory combination might sound strange, but trust me – it’s life-changing.
The maple syrup ties everything together in an unexpected harmony that’ll have you questioning why you ever settled for plain toast in the morning.
2. Truffle Parmesan Fries with Garlic Aioli

Fancy meets comfort in this indulgent upgrade! Toss hot, crispy fries with truffle oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese until every golden stick is coated in earthy, savory goodness. The magic happens when you dunk these decadent fries into homemade garlic aioli.
The creamy garlic punch perfectly balances the truffle’s richness. My dinner guests actually applauded when I brought these to the table last month!
3. Buffalo Chicken Loaded Fries

Game day gets an upgrade with these spicy, tangy masterpieces! Start with extra-crispy fries, then pile on shredded buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles, ranch drizzle, and chopped green onions. I once made these for a Super Bowl party and nearly caused a riot when they ran out.
The combination of heat from the buffalo sauce and the cooling ranch creates perfect flavor harmony. For extra points, add a sprinkle of crispy fried onions on top!
4. Greek-Style Feta Fries

Toss hot fries with olive oil, oregano, and lemon zest, then top with crumbled feta, diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and kalamata olives.
A dollop of tzatziki sauce provides the perfect cool, creamy contrast to the warm, seasoned potatoes. The combination of fresh vegetables and tangy feta makes this feel almost virtuous – almost!
5. Poutine with a Twist

Traditional poutine features fries, cheese curds, and gravy, but my version adds pulled pork, caramelized onions, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme. The cheese curds melt just enough to stretch into those satisfying strings when you pull up a forkful.
Last winter, I made this on a snowy day, and my Canadian friend declared it better than his hometown poutine – high praise indeed!
6. Kimchi Bulgogi Fries

Korean-inspired flavors create fusion perfection! Crispy fries get smothered with tender bulgogi beef, spicy kimchi, melted cheese, green onions, and a drizzle of spicy mayo and sweet gochujang sauce.
The combination of fermented kimchi tang and sweet-savory bulgogi creates explosive flavor in every bite.
The contrasting temperatures and textures – hot fries, cool kimchi, tender beef – make this a sensory adventure worth embarking on.
7. S’mores Dessert Fries

Sweet potato fries venture into dessert territory with this campfire-inspired creation! Crispy sweet potato fries get tossed in cinnamon sugar, then topped with mini marshmallows, chocolate sauce, and crushed graham crackers.
A quick trip under the broiler melts those marshmallows to golden perfection. I created these for my niece’s birthday party last summer, and the adults devoured them before the kids even got a chance!
The sweet-savory contrast is absolutely addictive.
8. Curry Masala Fries with Mango Chutney

Toss freshly fried potatoes with curry powder, garam masala, and a touch of turmeric for gorgeous color and aromatic spice. The game-changer is serving these vibrant fries with sweet-tangy mango chutney and cooling cucumber raita.
The combination of warm spices, sweet fruit, and cool yogurt creates perfect harmony. For extra texture, sprinkle with crispy fried chickpeas or crushed papadums.
9. Carne Asada Street Fries

Taco Tuesday meets french fry heaven in this Mexican-inspired masterpiece! Layer crispy fries with grilled carne asada, queso fresco, pico de gallo, guacamole, and chipotle crema.
The combo of smoky grilled meat, fresh vegetables, and creamy toppings transforms humble fries into a meal worthy of center stage. A squeeze of lime brightens everything up.
During my California road trip, I had something similar from a food truck and haven’t stopped thinking about it since!
