I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it…anymore.
Alexia Foods has invited me and 20 other bloggers to create our very own one-of-a-kind french fry flavor!
I’ll be testing my ideas in a month-long challenge and asking for your input.
Yes, I get to eat french fries galore for an entire month. Unabashedly. All in the name of research. For the greater good of french fry lovers everywhere!
The top four creations will be picked by Alexia’s research and development team then put up to a consumer vote on Facebook.
The winning french fry flavor will be produced and sold in the fall of 2012 with the winner’s face on the package. Imagine that. My face plastered on french fry packages in freezers all over the country. That would make me almost-famous, wouldn’t it?
The top four winners also get to attend the Foodbuzz Blogger Festival in November to unveil their winning creations for sampling!
So, my dear friends, this is where you come in. I need your help! Your french fry expertise.
What does your favorite type of french fry look like?
Is it a Russet potato or a sweet potato?
What shape/cut is it?
Julienne, waffle, wedge or crinkle cut?
What are your flavor ideas?
Salty or sweet? Spices or herbs? Heat or mild? Cheesy or not?
Is there an Alexia flavor you’ve always wanted to see on the store shelves? Now’s your chance!
Inquiring minds want to know, so don’t be shy!

I love sweet potato fries, but I want them baked and not soggy. I fail every time I do this. I also adore fries made from russet potatoes, with some herbs, and maybe some cheese. Nothing spicy please!
I have a hard time getting sweet potato fries crunchy too! Thanks for the suggestions!
Oh, wow, Reeni! This sounds like so much fun!! I say go for a sweet potato waffle fry with a kick! I bet everything you come up with will be delicious!
Definitely a crinkle cut Russet potato with cilantro-lime seasoning. Make ‘em nice and crispy! Those would be in my shopping cart for sure!
This sounds like so much fun, Reeni!! I can’t wait to see what flavor you come up with — I know it will be amazing!
Reeni, this is exciting! I can’t wait what you come up with! Oooh, I want to share what type of fries I LOVE. Here we go:
I’d love to try sweet potato! I think that just feels healthy even if it is fried, hehe.
I like julienne but I love the waffle even more.
As of flavors, hmmm… this is a tough one. Maybe something with a lot of herbs. I like cheese but if it could be vegan, that would be wonderful.
Keep us updated! I can’t wait!
Thanks Rylan! I like the waffle fry best too.
