Fries with Garlic Cheese Sauce

I'm normally a ketchup girl when it comes to my French fries. No ranch dressing, mayo, or mustard for me. But when I made this garlic cheese sauce, I was willing to change my ways. I usually make my own French fries, but I don't quite have the skill or tools to make my own curly fries so when I saw curly fries on sale at the grocery store, I indulged. And what's better, the hubby was out of town when I made this so, I got all the sauce and fries to myself.

Recipe adapted from here.

Ingredients:
2 ounces cream cheese
2 to 4 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:
Melt cream cheese in a small sauce pan on the stove over medium high heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons milk and garlic powder. Add cheddar and stir until smooth. If you want a thinner sauce, add more milk until you reach the desired consistency.

Drizzle over your fries or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.

Enjoy!

Homemade Baked French Fries

It has probably been close to a year since Eric and I made homemade French fries. We used to do it all the time. They require a little more prep than just roasting diced potatoes, but they are worth it. Much better than the frozen ones you buy at the store. And healthier than the fries at fast food joints (though those are yummy).

Homemade fries and fish sticks

Ingredients:
Potatoes (I've used russet, white, red, just whatever I've had on hand)
olive oil (vegetable or canola oil works too)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
any other season you'd like (We usually do garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Grated Parmesan is really good too!)

Directions:
Turn oven to broil.

Cut potatoes into sticks. Rather than trying to explain how to cut a potato into fries, here is a video for you. It really isn't that difficult. Mix olive oil (about 1 tablespoon for every large potato) and seasonings in a small bowl. Toss with fries.

Place the fries in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes then flip the fries and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the fries are crisp.

Enjoy!
