This recipe calls for firm-ripe medium Hass avocados because they have to be able to stand up to frying. In the end, the fries are crunchy and creamy, the best of both worlds. —Kim Severson

These are a real treat, and easy to make. Used leftover teriyaki mixture from Mark Bittman's Cabbage Teriyaki Steaks as a dipping sauce.

In the 60's we made this and called in avocado tempura.

Not fan of panko, gluten containing or not; it just tastes funny. Try a tempura batter made with egg and corn starch or rice flour. Tempura is crunchy and light, should be terrific with avocado.

Add a squeeze of lime!

These were a tasty treat! Definitely needed a heavy hand on the salt. I used a siracha mayo for a dipping sauce. The heat was a perfect balance to the creamy avocado. Looking forward to making them again!

Delicious - add some grated fresh Parmesan to the panko
