ramyaramesh3007If the most iconic dairy free creamy potato salad dressing had a baby with crispy curly fries, the combination would be this out of the world crunchy potato salad!
This recipe is one of my favourites because it’s easy, definitely tastes like a potato salad and is super creamy, herby and tangy WHILE also being mega crunchy from the twister fries! It’s addictive and refreshing at the same time.
The best part? All you need is an air fryer to air fry the curly fries to perfection. . Using fresh herbs makes a whole lot of difference with the flavour too! However, you can still use dried herbs, still tastes superb.

Ingredients You Need
- curly fries – you can also use tater tots for this recipe! or even criss-cut fries. Just air fry them according to package instructions.
- olive oil – be generous with the olive oil for this recipe as it determines the crunch factor. You can also omit them if you want to go easy on the oil – it tastes the same!
- vegan mayonnaise – I use vegan kewpie mayo, other brands I love are Heinz or you could make them at home too!
- dijon mustard – adds the sharpness to the salad
- vinegar – adds acidity. You can substitute this with lemon juice!
- dill pickles – potato salad = pickles
- celery – adds a lovely crunch to the salad, alongside the crispy potatoes!
- herbs – chives and fresh dill are a must! You can use dried dill too.
- seasoning – salt and smoked paprika
This recipe is also gluten free and allium free! Just a friendly reminder to check if the vegan mayonnaise brand you use is gluten free. Also ensure any seasoning on the curly fries is allium free.
