Someone needs to invent cottage cheese fries and ruin Loyalty's off-season brain.
COTTAGE CHEESE FRIES
Written By
Bradley Bohn
INGREDIENTS
- 8 Servings of Crinkle Cut Fries (I used Kroger Brand)
- 2 Cups of 4% Cottage Cheese Blended
- 4 Tablespoons of Hoosier Hill Farm Big Daddy Mac Mix Cheese Powder (You can use any cheese powder of your preference)
- 1 Cup of Private Selection Alpine Blend Cheese (White Cheddar would be a good substitute)
- 4 tsp Siracha Hot Chili Sauce
- 6-8 Green Onions
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Kimchi Seasoning (Optional or sub with a light dusting of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes)
Preparation:
1. I chose to air fry my French Fries at 380 Degrees for roughly 16-18 Minutes vs bake or deep fry. They turned out very crispy and golden brown; however, follow the package directions for whichever cooking method you 5.
About 3 Minutes before your Fries are done cooking prepare the cheese sauce.
2. Blend Cottage Cheese until very smooth
a. Next add in Cheese Powder to the blended cottage cheese and stir
b. Measure out a cup of shredded cheese in a bowl and rinse it off and drain the water off and combine with cottage cheese mixture in a Microwave Safe bowl
- This will help it melt better
- If you freshly grate your cheese, skip this step.
3. Place the Cottage Cheese Mixture in the microwave for 30-60 Seconds and then stir. It will likely only need 1 minute to 90 seconds total to become warm and pourable.
- NOTE: this will set up very quickly! Do Not microwave it until right before you are ready to pour it over your French Fries!!!
4. If you timed this step appropriately, your fries should have just finished cooking in the air fryer. Place the cooked French fries in a bowl and toss with salt and Kimchi seasoning
5. Place fries on a serving plate/platter from the bowl
6. Pour Melted Cheese Mixture over the french fries
