Get yourself ready. Â There is so much flavor in this post I don’t know if the internet can handle it.
Who doesn’t love a plate of chips  Fries!!! with curry sauce?  I know I do.  I order them wherever we go if they are available.  I fancy myself a connoisseur of crispy potatoey goodness slathered in some variety of masala flavored goo.  Now that I’ve whet your appetite, let me tell you that I’ve created a way for you to make this easily in your own home kitchen!
I know what you must be thinking… “Yay! I can be deeply unhealthy whenever I want now! Â I don’t even need to go out anymore to get my french fry fix! Â Sarah, where have you been all my life? I will tell all my friends and make your post go viral on pinterest immediately!”
Ahem, okay, so I you’re probably not thinking that.
But honestly, folks.  This recipe is where its at.  This recipe substitutes crispy roasted fingerling potatoes for french fries. And the sauce- a delicious thai-style masaman curry sauce with extra curry powder for a perfect twist on the British- Indian Inspired- Pub-Food-Turned-Gourmet-Classic (aka who the heck cares where this dish originated from because it’s so damn good), curry sauce.
These little potatoes are little baby fingerlings! Aren’t they so cute? Â You can find them in 1lb bags at Trader Joes, which I definitely recommend.
Douse them with a generous amount of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Â The oil will allow them to crisp up nicely in the oven so you get the crunchy coating like a french fry, without all the fat (not to mention extreme hassle) of deep frying.
The curry sauce includes coconut milk, masaman curry paste, and regular ‘ole curry powder. Â It’s the perfect accompaniment to the crispy and creamy fingerlings.
 Serve the dish garnished with cilantro as well as a side of Game of Thrones.  Make extra and have a Game of Thrones party.  That’s what I did.
 Friends don’t let friends eat alone while watching Game of Thrones.  Especially when curry fries are involved.

I feel like curry on my fries is going to become a regular thang around here. It just sounds TOO good.
It is totally worth it, girlfriend!!
I am completely and totally convinced to make these. Picking up the fingerlings on my way home today! Thank you for the inspiration. 🙂
