get in my belleh

I am no longer sure how I ever survived without these...

We had avocado fries at a bar here in Brooklyn last summer - they were possibly the most indulgent thing to ever cross my lips.

I am so intrigued by these fries. The idea of the crisp outside and the creamy inside is rather distracting.

I had these at the California State Fair a few years ago-yummy.

OMG. I need to eat one of these NOW!

Sigh... My life for a hood fan.

I had a tempura battered fried avocado half in Mexico years ago, topped with a chipotle mousse. It was possibly the best thing my mouth has ever experienced.

I'm with cookingcanuck on that one: I'm mesmorized by these. They look so good. And I can almost feel the panko on my lips...

There is a restaurant in Austin (name?) that serves fried avocado. It's to die for. It's half an avocado stuffed w/ chicken and cheese and deep fried in batter w/ a cream sauce for dipping. Very yum.

Oh. My. GOD!

Looks aMAZING!

I have a friend who always orders tempura avocado at sushi places. It's so good, I bet these are pretty similar!

Oh wow! I want these.

@katieb82981 where in brooklyn please? i don't dare deepfry things in my own kitchen and need to try these immediately!

torchy's in austin puts them in tacos. highly rec.

OMG deep fried avocado? Why didn't I think of this?

Mighty Cone in Austin also does a variation on these, wrapped in a tortilla with ancho sauce. Fabulous.

I didn't ever think I'd want a deeo fryer...these made me change my mind!

I had torchy's too @peaceofwestphila! AH-mazing. It's pretty big all over Austin, I had it at another taco truck too.
IT IS SO GOOD. Great for veggies too because avocado has such a nice meaty fatness to it, fried avocado could replace veggie burgers as my favorite no-meat meal!
definitely going to try the fries version too. YUM

I can't believe I've never heard of this! I just figured an avocado would fall apart in hot oil, not sure why. I'm an avocado freak - my boyfriend comes home to see me eating them straight out of the skin with just salt - so this will be a must-try technique.

I'm with Kris...how is it possible I'm just now hearing about this, what with lifelong avocado mania?

I am SO making this for a dinner appetizer tonight, heat and grease mess be dammed.

back to add that it bugs me that the recipe doesn't specify what variety of avocado. Because it's from Sunset, I'll assume they mean Haas which is the one and only for me anyway.
Seems like the non-California varieties would come out much differently because of the higher water content.

Yes! Found another use for the deep fryer. :P

That looks like the awesomest food item ever created.

Yes, thank you again, Austin, TX- It's Trudy's that makes the deep fried stuffed avocado. One of these with their famous Mexican Martini!!

If you're in Orange County, they have something like this at Habana at The Lab in Costa Mesa. It's delicious but you really can't eat it more than once in a great while without feeling guilty :)

Yes! I made them here with just a simple tempura batter of equal parts flour and pale ale: http://professionalbakist.blogspot.com/2010/03/im-fried.html. I'm going to have to experiment with a deep-fried stuffed avocado from a couple comments up!

Must find gluten free alternative....sounds sooo good.

The Mighty Cone in Austin TX could be the best thing in the world.

Big Truck Tacos here in Oklahoma City makes a taco called the Crispy'cado with fried avocado, romaine, tomatillo salsa, pico de gallo & queso fresco - it is amazing!

these sound delicious. i'm totally making them tonight. probably with some sort of mayo-based sauce to dip them in. chipotle aioli? perhaps.

awww, i miss austin!!! trudy's fried avocado is delicious, but those mexi marts are TDFFFFFFF.

y'all beat me to the trudy's comparison. as a transplanted texan currently living away from the mothership, i would give my left ear for a stuffed avocado right now. these shall do. :)

I actually did just try avocado tempura at Soba Totto in NYC. They were great with a sprinkle of good sea salt!

the now-closed restaurant barfry in new york city used to have an avocado tempura. it was probably the best thing i ate there.

These are so amazing on a salad. Forget the parma though, it's not necessary.

I made these guys last night to accompany my turkey burger dinner. SO good. I'd like them daily.
