I went to this little restaurant and ordered their “Newfie Fries”! They were so good, I had to get the recipe, so here it is:
I was given 2 styles: ‘wet’ and dry dressing:
- Wet Dressing
Need:
Fries
Gravy (make your own or use a packet gravy (Swiss Chalet gravy is best!))
Bread Crumbs
Butter
Onion
Savory (Flakes, not powder)
Sugar
•Bread Crumbs (if you don’t have any simply put bread in a blender until fine chopped.)
•Fry Onion(fine chopped) in Butter until soft.
•Add a little more Butter.
•Mix in Bread Crumbs and stir in the Butter and Onion.
•1-2tsp of Savory (based on the amount of Bread Crumbs/Onion).
•Fluff Dressing with a fork.
•Sprinkle in a pinch of sugar.
•Sprinkle over top of the Fries.
•Pour on the Gravy.
- Dry Dressing
Need:
Fries
Gravy
Bread Crumbs
Savory
Sugar
In a bowl combine the Bread Crumbs, Savory, and pinch of Sugar.
This method is easiest because if allows you to make it up ahead of time.
Then ya just sprinkle it over top of your fries, and pour on the gravy over top!
“Heart Attack On A Plate” is what I was told when he handed me the fries…but they was some shockin good!
Many thanks to the individual who Leaked me the recipe…

savory is a herb like thyme and the best is winter savory because its strong robust flavor but buy it at the newfie store or maybe your local sobeys may have it .all stores carry summer savory and ground

Savory is a herb…kinda like Oregano. Has a distinct flavour. No French Fries-Dressing and Gravy would be complete without it.

Sounds like the meal of newfie fries I had in Kingston. Wonderful newfie lady running it….. Delicious food and wonderful personality. It’s called Cheeky Chips, on the web I believe.

I’m from the Trinity Bay area, but I’ve been living in Alberta for nearly 7 years now. Tonight, I made this for my hubby, who is pure Albertan. He loved it. I’m so happy. And happy that my parents broughtme up some savory when they visited last month. And some gravy browning. And a huge stick of Maple Leaf bologna lol
