Spiced Fermented Potato Fries

Spiced Fermented Potato Fries are a delicious and gut-friendly twist on classic fries. Potatoes are cut into fries, soaked in a salted brine, and fermented for several days to develop a tangy flavor and improve digestibility. After fermentation, they are rinsed, dried, and cooked - typically fried or baked - with added spices like garlic, paprika, or cumin for extra flavor. These fries offer a crispy texture, unique fermented taste, and gut health benefits, making them a flavorful and nutritious snack option.
