Fries

Balsamic Ketchup

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the Russet potatoes, then cut them into even-sized fries, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Season and Toss

    In a large bowl, toss the cut fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Add Parmesan

    Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot fries, allowing it to melt slightly.

Balsamic Ketchup

  1. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine ketchup, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.

  2. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the balsamic ketchup and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more brown sugar or balsamic vinegar, if desired.

Calabrian Chili Ranch

  1. 7

    Combine the Ingredients

    In another small bowl, mix ranch dressing, Calabrian chili paste, lemon juice, and chopped chives until fully blended.

  2. 8

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the Calabrian chili ranch and adjust the spiciness by adding more chili paste if desired.
