Cheese Fries With Ultimate Dipping Sauce image

If you ever have the opportunity to eat at the Training Table in Salt Lake City, ordering their famous Cheese Fries with Ultimate Dipping Sauce is a must! There is nothing complicated about the recipe; all you need is piping hot french fries, shredded cheddar cheese, a really good hickory flavoured BBQ sauce and mayo.

Provided by Southern Polar Bear

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs idaho potatoes
peanut oil or vegetable oil
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup mesquite barbecue sauce (good quality)
1/4 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Heat approximately 3 or 4 inches of oil in a deep fat fryer to 370 degrees F.
  • While the oil is heating, peel potatoes and cut into strips using a French fry cutter.
  • Place potato strips in ice water to remove excess starch.
  • Completely dry potato strips using paper towels.
  • Divide potatoes into two batches.
  • Fry each batch in hot oil until golden brown; approximately 5 to 6 minutes/batch.
  • While the French fries are cooking, make the Ultimate Dipping Sauce by pouring the mayonnaise on one side of a small serving bowl and the BBQ sauce on the other side of the serving bowl. DO NOT mix the mayonnaise and the BBQ sauce; mixing it with the French fries is part of the experience.
  • Remove cooked fries with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel to remove excess oil.
  • Remove paper towel from plate.
  • Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on piping hot French fries.
  • Serve immediately, but allow the cheese to melt before serving. You may want to place under the broiler for a minute - just until the cheese melts; DO NOT let the cheese bubble and crust over!
  • Dip the cheese fries into the Ultimate Dipping Sauce making sure you get a little bit of mayonnaise and a little bit of the hickory flavoured BBQ sauce.

Provided by á-5050

Number Of Ingredients 11

DIPPING SAUCE:
1 pound sausage, uncooked (you can use regular or hot)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups Bisquick baking mix
4 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 to 6 drops hot sauce, to taste
1 medium garlic clove, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix all ingredients until well combined. Roll into 1 inch balls. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden. You can make these ahead and refrigerate until needed or also freeze until ready to use, you will need to add a few minutes to the baking time. DIPPING SAUCE: Combine all ingredients. Chill until serving.

Tips:

  • Choose High Quality Cheese: Opt for cheese with a rich, flavorful taste and good melting properties. Freshly grated cheese often melts better than pre-shredded.
  • Experiment with Different Cheeses: Don't limit yourself to one type of cheese. Try blending various cheeses to create unique flavor combinations.
  • Master the Art of Melting: Melting cheese properly is key to a smooth, creamy dipping sauce. Use low heat and stir continuously to prevent scorching.
  • Add Aromatics for Depth: Enhance the flavor of your sauce by incorporating aromatic ingredients like garlic, onions, or shallots. Sauté them gently before adding the cheese.
  • Season Wisely: Don't overpower the natural flavor of the cheese with too much seasoning. Start with a modest amount and adjust to taste.
  • Balance Creaminess and Texture: For a thicker, creamier sauce, consider adding cream or milk. However, be mindful of maintaining a balanced texture to avoid overwhelming richness.
  • Serve with the Right Accompaniments: Pair your cheese dipping sauce with complementary items such as crispy vegetables, toasted bread or crackers, or grilled meats.

Conclusion:

Creating a remarkable cheese dipping sauce is an art that combines culinary expertise with creativity. Experiment with different cheeses, flavors, and techniques to find combinations that tantalize your taste buds. Whether you prefer a classic cheddar or a bold blue cheese blend, the key lies in selecting high-quality ingredients, mastering the melting process, and balancing flavors harmoniously. Delight your guests or indulge yourself with a homemade cheese dipping sauce that elevates any occasion.
