This recipe looks really good, I haven't tasted it yet, but made it today to take to some friends house for and appetizer. I did everything the recipe said, but when I cooked them a lot of the panko bread crumbs fell off in the oil. I even put the asparagus in the fridge for 10 min. before cooking them to try and make the mayo seem more solid, but that didn't seem to really do much. I was disappointed that the bread crumbs didn't stay on. Let you know later how it tasted. -
This recipe is fantastic. I had asparagus fries at a tapas restaurant and loved them. When I found this recipe, I thought I'd give it a try, but had low expectations. Wow was I surprised. These are great! And, easy to make.
