SARASOTA'S SMOKY SPICY WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE FRIES

Steps:

• Bacon -- For the bacon, I do mine right in the microwave. On a paper plate lined with 2 paper towels, then the bacon and top with 2 more paper towels - 4 minutes (approximately) and it is done and crispy. Let it cool and then chop up. Now, you can saute, oven bake or use any method you want. You just want the bacon crispy and diced.
• Fries -- In a large bowl, add the fries (slightly thawed; just enough so the spice and oil will stick to the fries), and add the olive oil and toss well. Add to a pan lined with parchment paper or foil (for easy clean up) and sprinkle with the seasoning. Toss lightly. Cook according to package directions until crispy brown.
• Cheese Sauce -- As the fries cook, in a small pot, melt the butter and shallot on medium low and cook for just a minute. Then stir in the flour to make a roux and cook just a minute to reduce the flour taste. Slowly whisk in the milk and bring to medium heat to thicken the sauce and then add in the cheese, chipotle, chopped cooked bacon, salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve -- A few ways to serve this. First, you can put the fries in a small casserole dish, pour the cheese sauce over, and broil for just a few minutes until golden brown. Second, you can just pour the sauce over the crispy fries and serve as it, or last; Third, you can serve the cheese sauce as a dip. Either way they are good. Cheesy, Smoky, Spicy. ENJOY!

BAKED CHEESY SAMOSA PUFFS

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender, 25-30 minutes. Drain potatoes and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Peel potatoes, then place in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth with some pea-size pieces remaining.
• Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Cook cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafetida, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add chile and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in coriander, turmeric, and 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add potatoes and mix until spiced oil is thoroughly incorporated. Return potato mixture to bowl and let cool.
• Stir cheese, cilantro, lime juice, garam masala, and sugar into potato mixture. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Unfold puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut into eighteen 2½" squares. Roll out each square to about 4½", then divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
• Working one at a time, brush edges of pastry with egg. Spoon a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture onto center of each square. Fold pastry in half by bringing one of the top corners up and over filling and matching it up with the opposite bottom corner to make a triangle. Pinch edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork. Brush tops with egg. Chill puffs 15 minutes.
• Bake puffs until pastry is golden brown and cheese is melted, 25-30 minutes. (Some cheese may ooze out and that is okay.)
• Serve puffs with ketchup, green chutney, or hot sauce for dipping.

SARASOTA'S WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• Base -- In a large soup pot, add the butter and bring to medium heat and melt. Then add in the onion, celery, leeks and garlic and coat until slightly tender. You don't want to brown these. Just slowly cook, about 8-10 minutes.
• Roux and Broth -- Add in the flour, dijon mustard and cook another minute to thicken the vegetables and make a roux, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. Add in the wine and whisk in to deglaze the pan and get all the bits if any off the bottom and to thicken the sauce. Slowly add in the broth and bring to medium high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
• Puree -- Remove from the heat when you do this. I like to use my immersion blender for this, it is so easy - invest in one, it is so worth it. But if you don't have one, use your good old fashioned blender. I puree about half way, I like a little texture to remain in my soup, but also like it creamy. So puree until it is to the consistency you like, return to the stove and continue to cook on medium heat for another 10 minutes.
• Finish -- Add in half of the milk and half of the cream, the cheese (cheddar and parmesan), fresh thyme, and red pepper flakes. Stir and continue to cook until the cheese has melted. Continue to add a little milk and cream even amounts until you reach your desired consistency. I do this because I have found some like their soup thicker, and others thinner, so I just keep adding a little at a time until it is right for you.
• Test for Salt and pepper and add in the scallions. Cook just a couple of minutes more.
• Serve -- A large mug or bowl and add some parsley and tomato on top. ENJOY!
