Ingredients
  

For the Fries:
  • 3 pounds russet potatoes unpeeled
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or grapeseed or canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 4 ounces gorgonzola cheese crumbled or your favorite blue cheese
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 4 chives chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro freshly torn

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Grater

Method
 

Directions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to achieving that crispy texture.
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor, then cut them into wedges. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with the vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until all the wedges are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the fries bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the buffalo wing sauce and stir until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. After the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and drizzle the buffalo sauce over the top. Sprinkle the grated cheddar and crumbled gorgonzola cheese evenly across the fries.
  7. Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove the fries from the oven and top with sliced green onions, chopped chives, and freshly torn cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!

Notes

  • Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to improve crispiness.
  • Keep an eye on fries while baking to avoid burnt edges.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
