Ingredients

Dip:

1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup crumbled Maytag or other blue cheese (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Fries:

4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), scrubbed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Directions

To make the blue cheese dip: In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, blue cheese, buttermilk, shallot, lemon juice and zest, Worcestershire, salt, and celery seed. Pulse until evenly combined but still slightly chunky. Stir in the parsley and season with pepper, to taste. Transfer the dip to a bowl and refrigerate for the flavors to come together while you make the fries.

To make the fries: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put a baking sheet on the center rack and preheat for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the potatoes lengthwise into wedges by eighths, leaving the skins on. In a large bowl toss the wedges with the olive oil.

Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and arrange the potato wedges cut-side down on it, keeping them evenly spaced. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the remaining oil in the bowl over the potatoes (it helps them get crispy). Bake until browned and crisp, about 30 minutes. Transfer the fries to a serving platter and season with salt, to taste. Serve immediately with the blue cheese dip.

Not good.
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Fries got dark, but hardly crispy. Dip was way too lemony and just not good. Would not make again, would not recommend.

Deee-licious Fries!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These fries are stupendous--exactly the amount of time and temperature needed to produce a crispy shell for fluffy, potatoey... goodness! I added some creole seasoning to jazz them up and left off the sauce. We'll be eating these alot!Read more

Fries were wonderful- they came out perfectly and it was so easy! The blue cheese sauce was just okay...we ate it, but... prefer ketchup for the future....Read more

Great Fries
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are so quick and easy! And you can do variations of the seasonings! Not to mention, they are healthier than deep... frying.Read more

It's always gone!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this a few times for potluck dinners. I make an abundance hoping that there'd be enough left over for my work... lunch, but there never is any left over! The whole dish is always empty when I leave. I can understand why, these fries are very good. I add in the 'sprinkle' mix (the salt) Oregano, and Garlic Powder.Read more

Blue cheese dip is yummy. It's nice to have something different and easy. The fries are excellent, a little on the greasy... side, but tasty.Read more
