Why You Should Be Saving Those Leftover Restaurant Fries for Later
Be honest. How often do you leave fries on your plate when going out to eat?
Unless you’re a seagull like me, a proud member of the Clean Plate Club, then you might do it now and then. But what if I were to tell you that you were missing out on a budget-friendly at-home meal by ditching those hand-cut restaurant spuds?
Before I met my wife, I had never witnessed anyone freezing leftovers. Now I have a hearty freezer full of food we didn’t want to waste and it’s honestly brilliant.

One day, while we were out to eat, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we over-ordered. We were left with a plate full of fries from our favorite burger place, Max’s in Dartmouth, and decided to freeze them to enjoy at a later date.
That’s what started my obsession with collecting fries from various local restaurants.
Like restaurants, no two fries are the same, so I freeze a variety depending on the dish I want to make. I just secured a fresh bag of seasoned fries from What’s Cookin' in New Bedford that would pair perfectly with grilled burgers or hot dogs.
Just pop those split taters into the air fryer for a few minutes and bam, you have restaurant-quality home cooking convenience.
You're welcome.
