Description
Crispy fries smothered in savory toppings like sautéed mushrooms, melted cheese, and fresh herbs, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Ingredients
- Fries (fresh or frozen, preferably Yukon Gold)
- Fresh cremini or button mushrooms
- Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (or vegan cheese for a dairy-free option)
- Fresh minced garlic (or garlic powder)
- Fresh chives or parsley (or dried herbs)
- Sour cream or aioli
Instructions
- Prepare the fries: Cut fresh potatoes into matchsticks or wedges, toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then bake or fry until golden and crispy.
- Sauté the mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a skillet, add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, and cook until browned (about 5 minutes).
- Layer the toppings: Spread crispy fries on a baking sheet and top with sautéed mushrooms and shredded cheese.
- Melt the cheese: Place in a preheated oven at 400°F until cheese is bubbly and golden (about 5–7 minutes).
- Finish with fresh toppings: Drizzle with sour cream or aioli and sprinkle with chopped herbs; add hot sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using baked fries and loading them with vegetables. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet for crispier fries.
