Cheesefrieswithultimatedippingsauce Recipes

Steps:

• Toss half a 28-ounce bag frozen crinkle-cut fries with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 425˚ until crisp, about 30 minutes. Heat 1/2 cup half-and-half in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming; add 4 ounces diced sharp cheddar cheese and 2 diced slices American cheese. Cook, whisking, until smooth. Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the fries.

Steps:

• Heat approximately 3 or 4 inches of oil in a deep fat fryer to 370 degrees F.
• While the oil is heating, peel potatoes and cut into strips using a French fry cutter.
• Place potato strips in ice water to remove excess starch.
• Completely dry potato strips using paper towels.
• Divide potatoes into two batches.
• Fry each batch in hot oil until golden brown; approximately 5 to 6 minutes/batch.
• While the French fries are cooking, make the Ultimate Dipping Sauce by pouring the mayonnaise on one side of a small serving bowl and the BBQ sauce on the other side of the serving bowl. DO NOT mix the mayonnaise and the BBQ sauce; mixing it with the French fries is part of the experience.
• Remove cooked fries with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel to remove excess oil.
• Remove paper towel from plate.
• Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on piping hot French fries.
• Serve immediately, but allow the cheese to melt before serving. You may want to place under the broiler for a minute - just until the cheese melts; DO NOT let the cheese bubble and crust over!
• Dip the cheese fries into the Ultimate Dipping Sauce making sure you get a little bit of mayonnaise and a little bit of the hickory flavoured BBQ sauce.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Place a piece of aluminum foil over a baking sheet; spread fries in a single layer on baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat broiler.
• Sprinkle fries with cheese and crumbled bacon.
• Broil until cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with Ranch dressing.

Steps:

• Have your GH (Grown Helper) put fries in oven on a cookie sheet. While fries are baking in the oven, have a GH place a sauce pot on the stove and heat it over medium heat. Add butter and melt it. Add the flour and stir. Cook butter and flour together for 1 minute or so. This is called "roux" (like Tiger and Roo with Pooh Bear) and it helps to thicken up sauces. Use a whisk to stir as the milk goes into the pot. Keep stirring until the milk gets thicker. Use a wooden spoon or heat-safe spatula to stir in the cheese. When all of the cheese melts, take the sauce off the heat and stir in 3 squirts of ketchup. This is your SECRET ingredient. When everyone asks what you put in your cheese sauce that makes it taste so good, just say milk and cheese, you can NEVER tell what secret ingredients you add! Tell your GH to keep the secret, too or they can never help you again!
• Pour the sauce over the fries or serve the sauce on the side if you like to dipping better.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Cook bacon in a medium-sized frying pan oven medium-high heat.
• Take out bacon when crisp and put on a paper towel to dry.
• Pour bacon grease into a bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Add garlic salt, onion powder, and seasoned salt to the grease and stir to mix. Set aside.
• Arrange the fries on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until slightly golden.
• Set oven to broil.
• Brush the bacon oil an seasoning mix onto each fry.
• Place fries in an oven-safe bowl. Spread the cheddar cheese over the fries.
• Crumble bacon slices, then sprinkle over cheese.
• Place dish in oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.
• Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes, then serve.
