Easy Finger Food Buffalo Fries

By: Izzy
Looking to spice up your ordinary potato wedges? Well then this is the perfect finger food recipe for you! These loaded buffalo fries are cheesy, delicious and easy to make.
Total: 40 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients 

Fries

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil

Buffalo Ranch Sauce

  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 3 tablespoons ranch mix, or ½ cup ranch dressing

Toppings

  • 4 ounces cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 4 ounces gorgonzola, or other blue cheese, crumbled
  • 2 green onions, minced
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • Clean the potatoes. Then cut the potatoes into halves. Cut each half lengthwise into halves again. Then cut each quarter into two wedges. Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl and toss with the oil until coated evenly.
  • Scatter the potatoes evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until golden and tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, giving them a shake halfway through for even browning. You can also prepare the sauce and toppings while the fries are baking.
  • Stir the buffalo wing sauce and ranch together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. As soon as it bubbles, reduce heat to the lowest setting to keep warm and reserve.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer to a rectangular ovenproof pan. Turn on the broiler.
  • Drizzle the wing sauce evenly across the potatoes. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top followed by the crumbled gorgonzola/blue cheese.
  • Put the pan into the oven to broil for 2 to 4 minutes, or just until the cheese is starting to bubble. (Note: If your broiler is weak, you may need to move the oven rack higher so the fries are about 3 inches from the broiler.)
  • Remove the buffalo fries from the oven. Garnish with green onions and serve warm.
