Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Horseradish (prepared)
- 3 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scrub the russet potatoes clean and dry them. Leave the skins on for a rustic texture, or peel them if you prefer.
Cut the potatoes into thin, even strips or wedges, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato strips in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat all the fries evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap or touch to allow for maximum crispness.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the fries bake, prepare the cheddar horseradish dipping sauce: In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, whole milk, and horseradish.
Stir the mixture constantly until the cheeses are melted and smooth. Add the lemon juice and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the fries to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired. Pour the dipping sauce into a small bowl.
Serve the oven fries hot with the cheddar horseradish dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
