Cheese Fries With Ultimate Dipping Sauce Recipes

SEASONED FRIES WITH CHEESE SAUCE

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.

CHEESE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter or margarine. Mix in flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir continually until the mixture is simmering.
• Slowly pour milk into the mixture. Continue stirring over a medium heat until the mixture has thickened. Stir in cheese and mustard. Continue stirring until all of the cheese is melted and the dip is smooth. Serve warm after adding salt and pepper to taste.

CHEESE FRIES WITH ULTIMATE DIPPING SAUCE

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.

CHEESE FRIES

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.

CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• In the medium pot, bring the cream to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Whisk in the mustard. Stir in the Gruyère, Parmesan and garlic and cook until the cheeses are melted and combined and the sauce has a smooth consistency, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

THE ULTIMATE CHEESE SAUCE FOR FRIES (WITH BUTTER?)

Steps:

• Prepare fries according to package directions.
• While fries are baking, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add flour and stir for one minute to create a roux. Whisk in the milk and stir until thick. Add Cooper® Sharp cheese and stir with a wooden spoon until creamy. If desired, add more cheese until you reach your desired consistency.
• Transfer fries to a serving platter or individual dishes. Pour the cheese sauce over the french fries. Serve with an extra side of cheese for dunking. Because trust us, you're going to want more cheese on the side.
