Delicious extra virgin olive oil combined with paprika help enhance the fries as it gives them a degree of spicy crispiness. They both also contain numerous health benefits. Extra virgin olive oil is packed with antioxidants and can reduce the risk of cancer while paprika, also antioxidant-rich, may reduce inflammation and may exhibit anti-cancer properties, according to Healthline’s article.

What Dip Should I Use with My Fries?
Ketchup, my Homemade Ranch Dressing, mayo, a sriracha Ranch sauce, or if you live here in Utah, then you’ll likely use fry sauce as that is the most common French fry sauce in this state. Fry sauce is a mouthwatering blend of mayonnaise, ketchup, and spices.
