Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 cups Plain unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 6 slices Vegan bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and cut the russet potatoes into thin fries, leaving the skin on for extra crispiness.
In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the dairy-free cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, combine almond milk, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, and Dijon mustard.
Whisk constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens to a creamy cheese sauce consistency, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the vegan bacon strips until crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
When the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Drizzle the dairy-free cheese sauce generously over the fries, then sprinkle with the crumbled vegan bacon and chopped fresh chives.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious Dairy-Free Bacon Cheese Fries!
