For the Potatoes- 4 medium potatoes (suitable for baking)

For the Butter Garlic Sauce- 3 Tbsp milk
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp honey mustard
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder (or 1 Tbsp finely minced garlic)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 Tbsp cream cheese (optional, adds creaminess)
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp honey mustard
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder (or 1 Tbsp finely minced garlic)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 slice American cheese
- 1 Tbsp cream cheese (optional, adds creaminess)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the potatoes for baking: Peel them or wash them thoroughly. Cut them into your desired fry shape (like sticks). Soak the cut potatoes in cold water and rinse multiple times to remove excess starch. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture. Drain the potatoes well in a colander.
Step 2
Ensure the potatoes are completely dry by patting them with paper towels. Any remaining moisture can make them soggy. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap.
Step 3
Drizzle a moderate amount of olive oil or cooking oil over the dried potatoes. Toss them gently to coat every piece evenly. This oil coating will help the fries become extra crispy and add a lovely flavor.
Step 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for approximately 35-40 minutes. Flipping them halfway through will ensure even crisping on all sides. Adjust the baking time based on the size of your potato pieces and your oven’s performance.
Step 5
Once removed from the oven, your potatoes will be wonderfully crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just like freshly fried fries! For the best flavor, toss them with seasoning while they are still warm.
Step 6
Now, let’s whip up the amazing butter garlic sauce! In a bowl, combine the milk, mayonnaise, honey mustard, garlic powder (or minced garlic), honey, American cheese slice, and cream cheese (if using). Mix well. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, for about 3-4 times, or until all the cheese is smoothly melted and the sauce has thickened.
Step 7
Sprinkle the warm, crispy fries generously with garlic seasoning for an extra burst of flavor. If you don’t have garlic seasoning, sprinkling with cheese powder is also a delicious alternative. The savory notes and garlic aroma create a fantastic pairing with the fries.
Step 8
Finally, pour the prepared butter garlic sauce liberally over the fries! The creamy, rich sauce coating the crispy fries will flood your mouth with an indulgent flavor. Serve immediately while warm for the ultimate experience. Enjoy your incredibly delicious butter garlic fries, now easily made at home!
