Sometimes! I make mine with onions, peppers, and carrots. My favorite diner doesn’t shred them, just slices them thin. Some places bake them instead of frying them, too. There’s a hashbrown for every occasion, they’re not just tinier french fries.
Also, okay, I know it’s relatively rare to french your fries these days, but it’s even more unheard of to french a hashbrown. (I’d totally eat a frenched hashbrown, though.)
Hmmm, I assume the usual hamburger/hotdog isn’t what you’re looking for.
I think the least common thing I put ketchup on is kraft mac n cheese. Don’t do it every time, but every now and then, when I’m having the standard, package only mac n cheese, I’ll put a dab on there.
Can’t use much, or it sucks. But the kind of amount you might drop as you’re taking a bite of something else, that works great. That’s how I found out I liked it, back as a kid.
I will put ketchup on mac & cheese, of any kind, no matter how old your grandmother’s recipe is. did it right in front of my Italian potential mother-in-law too, there are certain things that have to be established early in the relationship.
I’ve upgraded from ketchup on my mac and cheese (we call it Kraft Dinner here in Canada) to using Bullseye barbeque sauce. Adds a little bit more flavour.
Even though I’ll incur the wrath of all Italians I do like to put ketchup on my pasta when I don’t have the time/energy/ingredients to make a proper sauce. Even better with shredded cheese.
I’ve been using a pair of scissors to cut my spagetti, a knife would probably be way easier to clean. Thanks for the tip, I’ll let everyone know how it goes!
Spaghetti and Swedish meatballs topped liberally with ketchup is a childhood staple food in Sweden. It’s honestly not bad, highly inoffensive food, fit for picky eaters.
Ketchup on canned tuna, yeah, I’ve done it. I’d rather have some mayo and sriracha on it, but it’s not that bad.
Ketchup on salad though, I can imagine it, I don’t remember if I’ve actually tried it, but unless we’re talking about sweet salads (like ones made out of condensed milk, all-purpose cream, canned fruit cocktail, gelatin cubes and the works), I don’t think it’s actually that hideous. Heck, I even think it’d go okay with something like potato salad!
with potato salad, definitely works – it’s not that far off french fries
With a finely cut salad (read: celery, tomatoes, rocket/kale/cabbage, and a shaved carrot, dressed lightly in olive oil and citrus juice), tomato ketchup turns the salad into a cold stew of sorts, and… it just works
The night before I mix two eggs with a little milk and put it in a microwavable mug. Then microwave it for 30 seconds, stir and repeat twice. It creates a round slab of egg that I put on a piece of buttered toast with ketchup spread on it.
