Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Make sure to cut the potatoes into thick fries to achieve a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Satay sauce — If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the satay sauce.
- Mayonnaise — Feel free to use homemade mayonnaise for a fresher taste.
- Onions — For a milder flavor, soak the chopped onions in cold water for a few minutes before using.
- Bacon bits — If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the bacon bits or replace them with crispy fried onions.
Tips & Tricks
- To achieve extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before frying.
- Serve the Patatje Oorlog with a side of pickles or a fresh salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Experiment with different toppings such as grated cheese or chopped fresh herbs to personalize your Patatje Oorlog.
- If you don't have access to satay sauce, you can substitute it with peanut sauce mixed with a bit of soy sauce and honey.
- For a healthier version, bake the fries in the oven instead of frying them.
Serving advice

Presentation advice
Arrange the fries on a platter in a visually appealing manner, ensuring that the toppings are evenly distributed. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.
