How to Make Crispy Spiral Sausages & Spiced Fries

- 1 tbsp olive oil (for tossing fries)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & black pepper to taste

Directions
- Lightly score the sausages diagonally on both sides to get that crispy spiral char.
- Slice the potatoes into thick fries or use frozen fries. Toss them with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pan-fry the sausages in a little oil over medium heat, turning often until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
- Bake the fries at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes or air-fry for 15 minutes, shaking halfway for even cooking.
- Serve the sausages hot alongside the spiced fries, garnished with fresh parsley or chili flakes if you like a bit of heat.
How to Serve Crispy Spiral Sausages & Spiced Fries
This dish is best served hot. You can plate the sausages next to the fries for a fun presentation. Add some dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard to enhance the flavors. It’s a great dish for sharing, so don’t hesitate to invite friends or family!
How to Store Crispy Spiral Sausages & Spiced Fries
If you have leftovers, store the sausages and fries in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, reheat the sausages in a pan on the stove and microwave or re-bake the fries for a few minutes until they are crispy again.
Tips to Make Crispy Spiral Sausages & Spiced Fries
- For even crispier fries, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Experiment with different spices for your fries. Try adding chili powder or Italian herbs for a new twist.
- If you like your sausages extra crisp, increase the heat for the last few minutes of cooking, but be sure to watch them closely.
Variation
Feel free to switch up the sausages! Try pork, turkey, or vegetable sausages for different flavors. You can also swap the russet potatoes for sweet potatoes for a healthier option.
