13 Delicious Side Dishes to Serve with Fries

You’ve come to the correct spot if you’re wondering what to serve with your fries.

In this essay, I’ll discuss 13 of the most popular fries side dishes.

In a rush? Heres the short answer.

Butter burgers, flank steak, beer-battered fish, and chicken tenders go well with fries. Mussels, tofu nuggets, and shakshuka are some healthier choices. Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, chili, BBQ pulled pork, Korean corn dogs, and chicken gyros are additional options.

Ready? lets jump right in.

Marinated flank steak 

Who says you have to eat steak and fries in a steakhouse?

You can prepare steak in the comfort of your own home.

Begin with an inexpensive piece of beef, such as flank steak, and marinade it so that it becomes soft when cooked.

Psst: A decadent gorgonzola cream sauce goes well with steak and potatoes.

Beer-battered fish

Serving your fries with crispy, beer-battered fish is a no-brainer.

I prefer to cook this meal using cod or tilapia, but you may use any white fish.

The trick to this meal is to get the beer batter just perfect.

Aside from an ice-cold pale ale, mixing rice flour and all-purpose flour results in a crispy coating that does not go soggy soon.

With a can of your favorite beer, pair your beer-battered fish with crispy fries.

Chicken tenders

Are your kids asking to have fries for dinner?

Make their desire come true by preparing some chicken tenders to round up the feast.

This buttermilk chicken tenders recipe makes them so easy to make. The coating has a hint of cayenne pepper, but you can leave it out if your dinner guests aren’t like heat.

Choose your favorite dipping sauce to go with it (mine is ranch) and you’ve got yourself a simple mid-week supper.

Butter burger

Craving something indulgent?

This butter-soaked burger is just what you’ve been yearning for.

Every component of this burger has come into contact with butter. The onions and patties are cooked in butter, and the buns are drenched in it.

This burger is very decadent, yet it pairs well with crispy fries.

Just make sure you don’t have anything else planned after this dinner.

Philly cheesesteak sandwich

Philly cheesesteak is the ultimate sandwich.

What more can you ask for than tender, delicious meat, sautéed onions, and provolone cheese enclosed in a crusty hoagie roll?

The shaved beef is the key to this delectable sandwich.

It’s been marinated in Worcestershire sauce, garlic, vinegar, and sugar to make it extra delectable.

And you won’t have to go to Philadelphia to sample one with this recipe!

Chili

Looking for something warm to accompany your fries?

You cant go wrong with classic chili.

This recipe has a lot of beef and beans, so it’s quite satisfying.

And it’s ideal for winter nights when all you want to do is curl up in front of the TV with some comfort food.

Dip your fries in this hearty homemade chili for the ideal bite.

Korean corn dog 

Getting bored of your regular corn dogs?

Give this Korean version a try!

This variant combines mozzarella and a hotdog on a single stick, which is coated in a yeasted batter and topped with panko breadcrumbs (rather than cornmeal batter).

Fresh, crispy fries will round off your Korean corn dog lunch.

To get the finest results, use whole milk mozzarella.

Barbecue pulled pork

Add a big serving of BBQ pulled pork to your fries (see what I did there?).

It’s the perfect side dish with fries, particularly if you’re serving a large group!

You can also create filthy fries with it by covering the fries with the saucy pulled pork, then with melted cheese and (optional) jalapenos.

After just one hour of cooking, this fast pot barbecue pulled pork is ready to serve.

Mussels in white wine sauce

Serve your fries with this mussels meal to draw inspiration from Belgian cuisine.

Mussels are cooked in white wine, garlic, and cream in this recipe.

It’s simple yet wonderful (in fact, it’s one of my favorite dinners, and I usually eat it when it’s on the menu).

Tofu nuggets

Are you giving meatless Mondays a try?

Make these tofu nuggets with French fries for the ideal meatless supper.

The key to getting crispy tofu?

Press it to draw out as much liquid as you can.

To obtain that wonderful, crispy, golden brown crust, this recipe suggests twice coating your tofu.

When you enjoy these crispy baked tofu nuggets, you won’t miss your typical chicken nuggets.

Poutine (gravy and cheese curds)

Poutine is pure Canadian comfort food.

Fries covered in a thick gravy and topped with creamy cheese curds to balance out the savory tastes.

And here’s an interesting fact: this is one of the few french fries recipes that must be eaten with a fork!

So grab your forks and delve into some real poutine.

Shakshuka

Fries aren’t only for snacking. They’re also great for brunch with this shakshuka.

A delightfully spicy tomato sauce is combined with baked poached eggs in this meal.

The greatest part is breaking the eggs yolks and combining them with the stew before dipping some fries into it. YUM!

Shakshuka is a delicious way to start your weekend mornings.

Chicken gyros 

Gyros is one of the most well-known Greek dishes.

It’s a fan favorite for a reason: marinated meat with fresh vegetables wrapped in a flatbread is usually a huge success.

The star of this meal, however, is the tatziki sauce, which also serves as an excellent dipping sauce for fries!

If you wish, you may also include some fries in the wrap.
