Level of Difficulty:
A festive twist on Thanksgiving leftovers. Crispy McCain Sweet Potato Crinkle Cut Fries become the base for a customizable fry bar with savoury turkey, stuffing, warm gravy, cranberry sauce and all the holiday fixings.
Ingredients
- 1 bag McCain Sweet Potato Crinkle Cut Fries
- 1 cup prepared stuffing
- 1 cup cooked chicken or turkey, shredded or chopped
- ½ cup prepared turkey gravy
- ¼ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup cranberry sauce
- ¼ cup crispy fried onions
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley or chives
Directions
- Prepare the fries: Preheat the oven according to the McCain Sweet Potato Crinkle Cut Fries package directions. Arrange the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook according to package instructions until golden and crispy.
- Reheat the stuffing and turkey: While the fries cook, reheat the prepared stuffing and cooked chicken or turkey separately until each reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Warm the gravy: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat the prepared turkey gravy until it reaches a full boil, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare the toppings: Shred the white cheddar cheese, chop the fresh herbs, and transfer the cranberry sauce and crispy fried onions into individual serving bowls.
- Assemble the fry bar: Transfer the hot, crispy McCain Sweet Potato Crinkle Cut Fries to a large serving platter. Arrange the warm stuffing, turkey or chicken, gravy, cheese, cranberry sauce, crispy onions and fresh herbs in separate bowls around the fries.
- Serve: Invite guests to customize their own loaded fries with their preferred toppings, finishing with warm gravy. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Alternative Air Fryer Method: Prepare the McCain Sweet Potato Crinkle Cut Fries according to the air fryer instructions on the package, if provided. Cook in batches as necessary, without overcrowding, until golden and crispy.
