Potato Fries Cheesey Goodness!

We had these in a friend's restaurant in Orlando...since then we have tried our best to imitate them. THEY ARE DELISH :) but it can totally be made to how you would like it to taste....

Cut 4-6 potatoes into "steak french fries" size. I like them thicker...but that means it will also take a little longer to cook than skinny ones.

After they are cut place in a big bowl or bag, add a couple of tablespoons of Olive Oil, and your favorite seasonings; Mix well..
Seasoning suggestions
A. Jonny's seasoning salt, garlic, onion, sea salt etc
B. Fresh herbs (or dried) thyme, seasoning salts, garlic salt, rosmary, basil
c. Lipton Onion Soup Mix
D. cumin, chili powder, garlic, peppers, onion -For a Southwest Flare
D. Curry and cumin for Eastern Flare
ok you get the point- season the potatoes how you would like it. Potatoes are pretty bland you can go crazy!

PLace on foiled baking sheet, bake 400 for 40 minutes

in seperate bowl (proportion to how many fries you make...: )

about a cup of sour cream
1/2 cup ranch
splash of milk.
Wisk Together
spread 3/4ths on a flat platter
Layer on HOT steamy Fries
add remaining 1/4th of cream mixture
Sprinkle on Cheese...I like to mix my favorites.
Chives or green onions are so yummy on top and make it that much more beautiful!
Place under broiler for an extra minute to make the cheese nice and melted and gooey. Pin It

Triple Layer Mint/Fudge brownies

I think that the title says enough.. triple layer, fudge, mint. Brownie layer: 1 cup sugar ½ cup softened butter ½ tsp. salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 4 eggs 1 cup flour 1 16 ounce can Hershey’s chocolate syrup Mint (middle) layer: 3 cups powdered sugar 3 TBS. milk 5 drops green food coloring ¾ cup softened butter 1 tsp. peppermint extract Topping layer: 2 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips ¾ cup butter 3 TBS. milk

Directions: Brownie layer: Mix first four ingredients. Mix in eggs, then flour and chocolate syrup. Pour into a greased 11” X 17” pan. Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F and let cool completely. (brownies will look wet on top). Mint layer:Mix all ingredients and spread on cooled brownie. Refrigerate 20 minutes or until mint layer is no longer wet on top. Topping layer: Melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat in small sauce pan. Stir, then add milk and stir until smooth. Pour over mint layer. Refrigerate until set – at least ½ hour. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator. (Also freezes well.)

15 min
Cook Time:
12 min
Level:
Easy
Serves:
4 servings
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs
3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
4 (1/2 to 3/4-inch thick) center-cut pork loin chops (each about 10 to 12 ounces)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
Whisk the eggs in a pie plate to blend. Place the bread crumbs in another pie plate. Place the cheese in a third pie plate. Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Coat the chops completely with the cheese, patting to adhere. Dip the chops into the eggs, then coat completely with the bread crumbs, patting to adhere. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown and the center reaches 150 degrees, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to plates and serve with lemon wedges.
