Smoked Spam Fries with Creamy Sriracha Dipping Sauce

by Frank Campanella Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

These Smoked Spam Fries are a simple appetizer that go great with a cold beverage. The Salty and spicy flavor combination of the spam fries are incredibly addictive.

As someone who grew up eating spam as kid I can tell you I have loved spam for a long time. This recipe is something new that I wanted to try out and boy was it a hit. After the first bite I know this recipe had to go on my blog to share with my readers.

Why These Spam Fries Are the Best

  • Simple: These spam fries are made with only 3 ingredients that you probably already have.
  • Cheap: Spam is a very affordable source of protein, very salty but quite tasty.
  • Fun: This is an appetizer I Ade with my nephew. It only has a few steps so kids can help make this recipe.

Ingredient List

  • Spam: As you can see I used the less sodium version since we are adding seasoning you don't want to overpower the spam which is already very salty
  • Sriracha: You can use any brand that you prefer, I have personally really loved this Week Knees Gochjang Sriracha a lot lately.
  • Dry Rub: In this recipe look for a rub that's not to salty and more herbaceous and sweet.
  • Sauce: For the dipping sauce you'll need Sriracha, mayo, soy sauce, lime and honey.

How to Make Spam Fries

  • Preheat the pellet grill or smoker to about 300 degrees.
  • Cut the spam into equal size fries. You should get about 24 fries per can
  • Add the spam fries to a bowl and coat with sriracha and your dry rub seasoning.
  • Place the fries on a wire rack and smoke for about 1 hour until the spam fries have developed a crust.
  • To make the creamy sriracha sauce just whisk together mayo, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice and honey.
  • To serve rinse out the can of spam and place a folded sheet of deli paper inside then stuff as many fries as will fit in the can and serve the dipping sauce on the side.

Helpful Tips

If you don't have a smoker or grill you can make these spam fries in an air fryer or oven. set the air fryer to 375 and cook for about 10 minutes. For the oven set at 375 degrees and cook for about 30-40 minutes.

I like to serve spam fries with sliced pineapple on the side. because the spam fries are so salty the pineapple cuts the saltiness and acts as a palate cleanser.

If you are using original spam you can soak the spam fries in cols water for about 5 minutes. this will pull out some of the salt. then pat the spam dry before seasoning.

Smam Fries FAQ

Spam is a Canned Meat Product that was introduced by the Hormel company in 1937. It became popular during WW2 because of its long shelf life. Today there are dozens of varieties with Hawaii consuming the most in the United States.
