What Are Pommes Frites?
Pommes Frites are French for French Fries.
You want to make sure you use a large pot with candy thermometer/deef frying thermometer. Let oil reach 375 degrees F. Make sure oil is filled about 1/2 way up the sides of your pot.
How To Make Pomme Frites
- Bring Oil To Temperature. Place oil into a large 3-5 quart pot over medium heat with a deep frying/candy thermometer attached. Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Open French Fry bag and have a deep frying sieve ready to assist getting the French Fries in and out of the oil. Have a large plate nearby lined with a paper towel to drain the French Fries alone with a large bowl to toss the French Fries with the Pomme Frites seasoning.
- Prepare Pommes Frites Seasoning. To prepare the Pomme Frites seasoning, place both Parmesan cheeses, garlic, Cajun seasoning, parsley and salt into a medium bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Make Cajun Remoulade. Prepare the Cajun Remoulade while oil is coming up to temperature. Place Thousand Island Dressing, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, Dijon, Creole Seasoning, lemon juice, paprika, salt and pepper into a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Place into a serving dish that will be used to dip the Pomme Frites in.

Fry French Fries. When oil has come up to temperature, carefully place fries into oil, in 2 batches. Use sieve to stir French Fry’s while they cook. Cook Fry’s for 3-4 minutes, until crisp and starting to turn golden brown.
NOTE: It’s very helpful to have some sort of sieve to help stir and remove your French Fries when done in oil. You want to cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy and turning golden brown.
Remove Fries. Carefully remove fries with sieve directly onto the paper towel lined plate. Let drain for 30 seconds then transfer to the large bowl.
Toss Fries With Cheese Mixture. Immediately toss cheese mixture over fries and stir to coat. Transfer Pomme Frites to a serving dish lined with parchment paper. Serve with Cajun Remoulade.
Recipe Tips For Success
- While oil is coming up to temperature be sure to prepare your Cajun Remoulade so it’s ready for dipping when Pommes Frites are ready.
- Make sure to transfer hot cooked french fries to a paper towel lined bowl or plate to drain some of the oil.
- Add the cheese mixture to the French Fries while they’re hot.
How To Serve
Serve Pomme Frites while warm and crisp at any occasion where French Fries are wanted. I love serving these fries for any Disney themed party, BBQ’s, Holidays….and any occasion!
How To Store Leftovers
The pommes frites are best enjoyed the day of making. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. You could try popping them in the air fryer until re-crisped.
Can I Freeze?
I don’t recommend freezing the Pomme Frites. They’re best enjoyed the day of preparing.

Has anyone tried baking the fries instead of frying them?
I think you can bake them too Shannon, the toppings won’t stick quite as good, but that’s ok 🙂
I tried and they were sooo good. Just like i remembered. Thank you!
The recipe says Dijon mustard but the photo shows stoneground. Does it matter which one?
Either is just fine Amy 🙂
