It was so tasty.

Cajun fries with mambo sauce and old bay seasoning

Used a mix of corn flour, tapioca flour, AP flour, and baking powder! Turned out amazing.

With a side of ranch and Jalepeano cheese 😌

This is what is called “fries with the works”. Fries with ground beef, gravy and canned peas.

While traveling I came across this dish in PEI and knew I had to give it a try. Well my week on the island turned into finding the best one. A few other places did fresh cut another did coated. Needs to be frozen crinkle. Peas need to be canned, one place had frozen and another advertised as being fresh local. The peas need to be soft.

My family is from the east coast of Canada and a staple meal growing up was mush. Which is basically this but on mashed potatoes. To my wife who had never had it before meeting me it sounded questionable. When I cook it for supper in the winter I don’t think she enjoys it as much as I do. But damn is it good.

I saw reviews on Youtube for this cheap no-brand potato cutter. Seems like this cutter is pretty difficult to use if you place it on the table. But I realized that if you place this cutter on the floor, and you step on the back of this cutter with your foot, it cuts through potato like butter with just one push. Place a piece of paper at the front of the cutter to catch the potato strips. Then push down on the handle with your entire body weight. It will cut the potato right through with no problem. If potato is too big, you have to cut off the edge of the potato to make it fit the machine.

And another good thing about this cheap machine is this; The blades are being sold on Aliexpress for just $2 shipped to USA. So if your blade is becoming dull, you can buy the replacement for just $2. The other expensive brands would sell their replacement blades for like $30 a pop.
