Rachel Brosnahan Once Tried Dipping Her Fries in Peanut Butter

Rachel Brosnahan shares an unexpected love for unique condiments when it comes to enjoying her french fries.

“Peanut butter,” expressed the The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star, 34, without a moment of doubt when asked about the “most ridiculous” dip in a promotional video for her partnership with McCain Foods.

Brosnahan recounted that her use of peanut butter was unplanned, but it became a reality thanks to the circumstances during a camping trip with friends.

“When I was around 16, I went camping and we noticed we didn’t have any traditional condiments,” she said. “No ketchup, no mustard, no mayonnaise.”

Despite the absence of typical french fry accompaniments, Brosnahan and her friends decided to make the best of their limited options.

“All we had was a massive jar of peanut butter,” she reminisced. “After hiking for days and being famished, we decided to fry some potatoes over the campfire and started dipping them into the peanut butter.”

How did it taste? Brosnahan had nothing but positivity to share.

“It was a bit salty, a bit crunchy,” she reflected. “Honestly, it wasn’t bad at all.”

Brosnahan has joined forces with McCain Foods to promote regenerative agriculture aimed at alleviating the future impacts of climate change on food production. The frozen potato brand has pledged to fully adopt sustainable farming practices by 2030.

“I’m thrilled to partner with them to elevate awareness around regenerative agriculture in a fun and engaging manner,” Brosnahan mentioned in a press release. “As someone who has always loved french fries, McCain’s new Regen Fries have quickly become a favorite because they not only taste fantastic, but they also contribute positively to the future of farming (and fries!).”

Beyond her excitement for the campaign’s message, Brosnahan has personal ties to the french fries brand.
