Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
• 2 (12 ounce) cans fully cooked luncheon meat (such as SPAM®), sliced into fries

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Process garlic, paprika, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Add mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and ketchup; process until sauce is well-combined. Transfer sauce to a bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled.

Step 2

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse luncheon meat 'fries' with cool water and pat dry.

Step 3

Working in batches, cook 'fries' in preheated oil until browned and crispy on the outside and still moist on the inside, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer 'fries' to a plate and serve with chilled dipping sauce.
