Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut each potato into thin, even slices to create fries.
In a large bowl, combine potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. Toss until the fries are well coated.
Spread the fries out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
While the fries are baking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine Greek yogurt, whey protein isolate, and unsweetened almond milk over medium heat. Stir continuously until smooth.
Add cheddar cheese to the mixture gradually, stirring constantly until melted and fully incorporated.
In a small bowl, mix vegetable stock with cornstarch until smooth, then add to the cheese mixture.
Add onion powder and continue to stir until the sauce thickens. Adjust the seasoning with extra salt and pepper if necessary.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve hot fries topped with the warm cheese sauce. Enjoy your high-protein treat!
