Crispy Cottage Fries with Gorgonzola Cheese

David Venable

Can't...stop...eating... Consider this your warning. These fries are addictive!

Ingredients

  • 4-5 medium potatoes (red, or another variety), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Vegetable oil (enough to fill a large skillet about an inch deep)
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Directions

Heat the oil until hot in the large skillet. Carefully drop the potato and onion slices into the oil one at a time to prevent them from sticking together. Fry them fast; separate and turn the slices often. The potatoes (and onion) are ready when they're crisp and golden brown. Remove the cooked slices to allow more room in the skillet.
Drain well on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese on the fries while they're still hot.

Cook's Notes

How do you know when your oil is ready to go? The easiest, and safest, method I've found is to stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If you see bubbles form around the wood and start to float up, your oil is hot enough to cook with.
