"We recently tested four new recipes at one of our high school campuses in collaboration with Potatoes USA. One in particular, which happened to be my favorite as well, seemed to stand out from the rest and that would be the Shawarma Fries. Fries tossed in an aromatic blend of spices topped with thinly sliced beef and drizzled with a tangy yogurt sauce that had just the right amount of kick. Our students really enjoyed sampling this new dish and we are looking into how we might incorporate this dish and other potatoes into our future menus." -Chef Anna Smith, Garland ISD High School
