Saloon Amarillo Cheese Fries
Submitted by: Lindalee S.
Ingredients
3 unpeeled russet potatoes
4-6 C vegetable oil for frying
1 C shredded Cheddar cheese
1 C shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 slices bacon, cooked
1/3 C ranch dressing
Directions
Slice the potatoes into wide rectangular slices. They should be about 1/4
inch
thick and 3/4 inch wide. You should end up with around 12-15 slices per
potato. Keep the potato slices immersed in water until ready to use.
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Dry the potato slices on
paper
towels and fry them for about 1 minute in the hot oil. This is the
blanching
stage. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain until they cool, about
10
minutes.
Then fry cooled potatoes for 5 more minutes or until they are light
golden
brown. Drain.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F., then arrange the fries on an oven safe
plate.
Sprinkle fries with Cheddar the Jack. Crumble bacon over the top. Bake
for
5 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve hot with ranch dressing.
