Soooo what happens to that late night craving that wants salty, greasy, crispy French fries but also a bowl-the-size-of-your-head pad Thai? Yeah, that’s a first world problem that I can fix for you. Pad Thai fries are like the epitome of fusion food. I’m kind of really into fusion food. I think it’s such a fun take on classic recipes. It’s like pulling that old blouse out of your closet and wearing it a different way. You have the ‘I just went shopping feel’ but in reality you were just being resourcefully-fusion like. Sounds like you’re a winner in my book!

In all reality the fries are pretty simple. They’re also lightened up a bit because they are baked! The thought of a vat of boiling oil on my stove still frightens me a little and I only do it if I really have to! Stick to the toppings for that original pad Thai flavor that you love so much. If you’re feeling kind of lazy it is completely okay to buy a store bought sauce… you’re secret is safe with me sister.
