Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 russet potatoes
5 cups vegetable oil, for frying
6 ounces thick cut applewood smoked bacon
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon garlic chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 cups sharp white Cheddar
1/4 cup chopped chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Cut potatoes lengthwise in 1/4-inch squares. Soak cut potatoes in water for 1 hour to remove starch. Heat oil to 325 degrees F and blanch potatoes for 5 minutes until very soft but not brown. Remove from oil. Drain on paper towels.
  • 2. In a medium saute pan over medium heat, cook bacon until just crisp, taking care not to overcook. Drain on paper towels.
  • 3. In a 2 quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook about 2 minutes. Add garlic and flour, whisk until smooth. Cook 2 minutes more. Add chili sauce and mustard, and slowly whisk in heavy cream. When mixture begins to simmer, add cheeses and remove from heat. Taste sauce for seasoning. If sauce is too thick, thin with more cream. If too thin, thicken with a little more cheese.
  • 4. Increase oil temperature to 375 degrees F. Fry potatoes a second time until crisp and golden brown. Remove from oil and drain again, season with salt immediately. On a large plate, arrange fries in the center, drizzle with sauce, top with crumbled bacon and chives. Serve immediately.

BACON CHEDDAR FRIES

Tried this to put a twist on plain, old fries.

Provided by Tiphane Fleming

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slice hickory smoked bacon
3 lb frozen french fries
6 Tbsp butter
6 Tbsp flour
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
3 c milk, 2%
2 c mild cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Cook bacon according to directions. Set aside.
  • 2. While fries are cooking, (we prefer to bake the fries) in medium sauce pan, melt butter, add flour and seasonings, mix well.
  • 3. Remove from heat and stir in milk
  • 4. Add cheese and stir until well blended.
  • 5. Pour over fries and top with crumbled bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the classic choice for french fries, as they have a high starch content that makes them crispy. Yukon Gold or red potatoes can also be used, as they have a creamier texture.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the potatoes are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not get crispy. If they are too thin, they will cook too quickly and may burn.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and make the fries crispier. Soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Before frying the potatoes, make sure they are completely dry. This will help them to crisp up and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a high-quality oil: The type of oil you use will affect the taste and texture of your fries. Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the potatoes to steam and not crisp up. Fry the potatoes in batches, using a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil when they are golden brown.
  • Season the fries immediately: Season the fries with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings immediately after they come out of the fryer. This will help the seasonings to adhere to the fries.

Conclusion:

Bacon cheddar fries are a delicious and indulgent snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, game days, or any other occasion when you want to treat yourself. With a few simple tips, you can make bacon cheddar fries that are crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. So next time you are looking for a satisfying snack, give bacon cheddar fries a try.
