The season of potlucks is upon us. Okay, I guess potlucks don’t really have a season. But I do feel like more potlucks happen during the summer months than at any other time of the year. I suppose you could argue the holiday season is more potluck-heavy. But I think sit-down dinners still rule the roost in December. But in the summer picnics are plentiful, BBQs are rampant, and no one wants to work that hard because sunshine and beer exist. So potlucks it is. You open your backyard and your friends roll in with far too many salads. But you can defy the salad trope and arrive with these Kimchi Deviled Eggs instead. It’ll blow minds.
French fries are beach food. At least, that’s how I see them. You might think of them as diner food or drive-through food or carnival food. But to me, they’re beach food. I used to get them, doused in vinegar of course, from beachside canteens in my youth. To this day, I can’t set foot on a patch of sand without craving fries. The craving only intensifies post-swim. These days, I’m not clocking much beach time. I’ve mostly been working on my snow shoveling technique. But I can’t help but fantasize about the warmer seasons to come. And it was during one of these daydreams that these White Bean Chili Fries wandered into my head.
