Blue Cheese French Fries Are Never Just A Side Dish

My husband and I were the undefeated champions again that night. I’m kind of surprised that people still come over for our game nights, because we always win. I think they come more for the company and of course the delicious foods that I whip up. I love to cook, and this is a great addition to my appetizer menu. I doubt I’ll be able to host another party without having these out as an option for those that already got to sample them! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at All Recipes:

“A very rich creamy way to dress up French fries.”

I feel like a famous movie star eating these tasty French fries!

 

Ingredients

1 (28 ounce) package frozen French fries (such as Ore Ida)

3 slices Hormel bacon, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces

1 tablespoon Land O’ Lakes butter

1/4 cup minced scallions

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles

2 tablespoons half-and-half

 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spread French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden and crisp, 24 to 34 minutes.

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat; cook and stir until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving some of the bacon grease in the skillet. Slice into 1/4-inch strips.

Stir butter into the bacon grease and set skillet over medium heat; add scallions and garlic. Cook and stir until scallions are soft and browning, about 5 minutes. Add blue cheese; cook and stir with a spatula until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in half-and-half until sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 2 minutes.

Arrange fries on a plate and drizzle sauce over fries. Sprinkle bacon strips on top.
