DIY Chick-fil-A Waffle Fries: Hold the HATE & the SILICONE!

Despite the fact that Chick-fil-A is some nasty self-righteous anti-LGBTQ+ HATERS and rabid racists, many folks "just can't quit 'em" because of those oh so yummy waffle fries. Bump that. You can do it at home better, cheaper and healthier.

I did a research dive into what makes them so addictive. It's pretty simple. They're just damned ol' frozen potatoes in a fun waffle shape. They deep fry in canola oil and add sea salt. Oh, and Dimethylpolysiloxane. A form of silicone, honeys. But don't take it from me. "Here's the bad news: Dimethylpolysiloxane is a form of silicone added to cooking oil to prevent it from bubbling and splashing..." Read More: Complete Mashed article.

We can do better than that. Get you some potatoes. Fresh, from the earth potatoes which you can buy in bags at the grocery store dirt cheap. Or even from a local farmer's market or Amish community. You can go to the extra time and trouble of peeling if you want, but for better taste and added nutrients, leave the skins on.

Get yourself an inexpensive "potato lattice maker" like this one at Temu currently only $4.99. First time app users can save 30% with code fav40311 if you place an order within 24 hours of downloading the app. You're welcome.

Don't even have to slice the potatoes first. The handy dandy lattice maker slices and waffelizes (I just made that word up) all at once.

Now the healthier part. We're not going to deep fry. For flavor, brush lightly with canola or your favorite oil, olive would be awesome. Arrange in your air fryer, making sure to space them out and avoid "stacking" so the hot air can get all around the surfaces of the fries for more even, crispy cooking.

Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with sea salt. Or maybe Pink Himalayan Salt! That's it. Hate-free, silicone-free, cheaper and better tasting. Enjoy!

Click bait. Ignore: The viral posts claiming Dick Van Dyke filed a $50 million lawsuit against Pete Hegseth after an “explosive on-air clash” are entirely false. Multiple fact-checking organizations including Lead Stories, Snopes, and Yahoo News have confirmed zero credible evidence supports any aspect of this claim.
