Thank you so much for the quick response! Over the weekend I went and got 2 of your books! LOVE THEM! I have discovered a whole new world. I have never cooked anything (I'm 36!) and I've made some dishes from your cook books that have even passed the taste test of my husband and my pickiest daughter who is 6. I also have 2 boys (3&4). I work full time so I appreciate the simplicity of the recipes!
Hi Lauri,I assumed that you only wanted a recipe for naked baked potato fries themselves, without any kind of sauce. But perhaps my Surprise Cheese Fries will work for you. They have a cheese sauce into which I was able to hide White Puree, which has cauliflower and zucchini.Here's the recipe:SURPRISE CHEESE FRIES
The Canadians call these national favorite fries with cheese sauce “Poutines,”— but I’ll bet they’re not slipping cauliflower into them north of the boarder!
Makes 4 servings
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 russet potatoes (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cornmeal
Salt/pepper to taste
For the cheese sauce:
3 ounces American cheese
¼ cup White Puree (see Make-Ahead Recipe on Website)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rub a baking sheet with the olive oil.
Cut each potato into 8 wedges or several thin sticks and place
them in a mixing bowl. Dust with cornstarch and cornmeal, then toss to coat evenly. Spread them in a single layer on the oiled baking sheet. Spray the potatoes generously with oil. Bake for 30 minutes, use a spatula to flip them, and return them to the oven for another 10 to 15, until crispy and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To Make the Cheese Sauce:
Put the cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the top of the bowl with a wet paper towel and microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time until fully melted. Alternatively, you can cook mixture over a double boiler or in a metal bowl over a pot of boiling water. Stir in White Puree and serve hot. This sauce thickens as it cools, so if there is a delay in serving it, simply put it back in the microwave for another 15 to 30 seconds.Serve fries with hot cheese sauce on the side or drizzled over the potatoes.
Goes well with Sneaky Sliders
