Rachel Brosnahan Shares Her Most Ridiculous Fry Condiment: ‘Peanut Butter’

Rachel Brosnahan is not just like Us when it comes to unexpected condiment options for her french fries.

“Peanut butter,” The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel alum, 34, said without hesitation when asked what was the “most ridiculous” thing she ever used to dip fries in a video promoting her partnership with McCain Foods.

Brosnahan shared that she didn’t intend to use peanut butter as her dipping selection but the stars aligned for the controversial combo while out in nature with friends.

“I was on a camping trip when I was like 16 and we realized we didn’t have anything else with us,” she explained. “We didn’t have ketchup, we didn’t have mustard, we didn’t have mayonnaise.”

While Brosnahan and her friends didn’t have any of the traditional counterparts for french fries, they decided to make do with the supplies they had on hand.

“We had nothing except this giant jar of peanut butter,” she recalled. “We had been hiking for days and we were so hungry. So we made these french fries over the campfire and started dipping them into the peanut butter.”

As for how it tasted? Brosnahan had zero complaints at the time.

“A little salty, a little crunchy,” she reflected. “It wasn’t bad.”

Brosnahan teamed up with McCain Foods to advocate for regenerative agriculture which aids in combating the effects that climate change will have on the future of food production. The frozen potato brand has already committed to fully implement the sustainable farming practices by 2030.

“I’m excited to be partnering with them to help raise awareness about regenerative agriculture in an immersive and accessible way,” Brosnahan said in a press release. “As a lifelong French fry connoisseur, McCain’s new Regen Fries are already a favorite of mine because not only do they taste good, but they’re doing good for the future of farming (and fries!).”

Not only does Brosnahan appreciate the message for the campaign — she has a personal connection to the french fries brand.

“When I was a kid, my mom would get me the smiley fires all the time and I loved them,” she shared. “She was over the moon with joy when she found out I was doing this partnership”

As part of the partnership, McCain launched their “Farms of the Future” pop-up experience in New York City’s Chelsea Market. Individuals can test out the brand’s Regen Fries from Thursday,February 27, to Saturday, March 1, from 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET.
