Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Slice each potato into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Soak the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
- Toss the dried potato strips in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Arrange the seasoned potato strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buffalo sauce with half of the crumbled blue cheese for a creamy texture.
- Take the crispy fries out of the oven carefully.
- On a serving platter, layer the crispy fries and drizzle melted cheddar cheese over the top.
- Drizzle the buffalo sauce mixed with blue cheese over the cheesy fries.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumbled blue cheese over the fries.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh parsley.
- Enjoy hot and fresh as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
- Serve with extra buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- Gather friends or family to share this delicious dish!
