Guy's Fries with "Blue-Sabi Sauce"

let's eat the town...NYC
 
My husband and I just returned from our summer vacation. We visited New York City! Neither of us have spent any real time there, so it was an adventure. I think we did everything possible, went to nearly every attraction, and we ate some delicious food along the way. We made it to Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill in Chelsea, Friedman's Lunch at Chelsea Market, Marseille a lovely French inspired restaurant, and Guy's American Kitchen & Bar owned by Guy Fieri, both of which are near Times Square.

While all of these places are HIGHLY recommended by us, I was inspired by the fries we had as an appetizer at Guy's restaurant. They were covered in wing sauce and served with a blue cheese wasabi dipping sauce. I couldn't help but notice that every color of my rainbow was represented...perfect for this second rainbow series! So, I've ventured to recreate these scrumptious fries for anyone to enjoy...we can't all live in NYC (however, there are SO many that do!). Here's how to make them...

Recipe - Serves 6-8
Hot Fries
2, 15oz Bags Frozen Plain Fries (such as Alexia Yukon Select)
1/2C Buffalo Wing Sauce
3 Green Onions (green parts only), sliced
Cooking Spray

"Blue-Sabi Sauce"
1/4C Sour Cream
1/2tsp. Wasabi Paste
2T Crumbled Blue Cheese
1/2tsp. Half & Half

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a sheet tray (or two) with foil and prepare with cooking spray. Arrange the fries in a single layer. Bake the fries for 30-35 minutes, flipping half way through. The fries should be extra crisp.

While the fries are baking, make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl combine the sour cream, wasabi paste, blue cheese, and half & half. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve. All of these ingredients can be modified, so add more or less of any as you desire.

Once the fries are baked, place them into a large bowl and add the wing sauce. Gently toss with tongs to coat the fries completely; add more wing sauce if needed. Move to a serving platter and top with the green onions. Serve immediately with the "Blue-Sabi Sauce". Enjoy a little bit of NYC Guy style!
