Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips for fries. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Working in batches, fry the potatoes for 3-4 minutes until they are just cooked but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry the par-cooked fries again in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.
While the fries are cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spread the hot fries on a baking sheet and evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the fries. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
To make the ultimate dipping sauce, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sriracha sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer the cheesy fries to a serving platter and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
