French Fry Charcuterie Board

by

This post is in partnership with Heinen’s Grocery – thank you for supporting the brands that The Thome Home works with!

Super Bowl is right around the corner, and you know I am constantly whipping up snack boards (aka: charcuterie if your fancy). French Fry Boards are all the rage right now, trending on the good ole’ Tik Tok. Heinen’s jumped on board and asked me to come up with one of my own!

A little homemade – a little store bought!

Don’t overwhelm yourself with making each French fry from scratch! I utilized Heinen’s Frozen Crinkle Cut + Straight Fries and added a little POP of flavor to them. AND THEN! I couldn’t help but whip up my Parmesan + Chive Sweet Potato Tots, and Sticky Sweet n’ Spicy Bacon Tots – yah, you read that right! Get ready to drool, chow down and take a trip to flavor town.

Don’t forget the dips, friends!

You’ll find 3 dips on this board, all of which are a cinch to pull together and are so incredibly delicious your dip to fry ratio may be equal!

Let’s make this trendy + tasty board!

My boys quite literally inhaled the bacon wrapped tater tots – they are INCREDIBLE!! And the Sweet Potato Tots are so crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, paired with my horseradish mustard sauce – WOO-WEE, get ready!!
