SMOTHERED FRIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spread potatoes in single layer on an ungreased 18x13-inch half-sheet pan or large cookie sheet. Bake as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell peppers, salt and pepper; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden brown and tender.
• Microwave beef roast as directed on package. Cool slightly; shred beef, reserving 1/4 cup au jus. (Discard remaining juices.)
• Scatter vegetable mixture evenly over fries on pan. Top with shredded beef. Drizzle with reserved au jus. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Spread fries in a single layer over prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, about 15 minutes.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour vigorously. When mixture bubbles, reduce heat to low; cook and stir until the mixture thins, about 2 minutes. Whisk in beef broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy has thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place fries on a serving plate or in individual bowls. Distribute the cheese curds over the fries; pour hot gravy over the fries and curds. Serve immediately.
