Ingredients

Amount / QuantityIngredients
1 cup

Raw Cashews (for cheese sauce)

3 tablespoons

Fresh Lemon Juice (for cheese sauce)

1/3 cup

Warm Water (for cheese sauce)

1/4 cup

Olive Oil or Avocado Oil (for cheese sauce)

1 1/2 teaspoons

Garlic Powder (for cheese sauce)

3/4 teaspoons

Sea Salt (for cheese sauce)

2 tablespoons

Nutritional Yeast (for cheese sauce)

2

Large Sweet Potatoes, or 3 medium, peeled and cut into French fry shape, about 1/2” thick

1 tablespoon

Avocado Oil, or light flavored olive oil

Sea Salt and Black Pepper

1 (12 oz.) package

Jones Dairy Farm Uncured No Sugar Dry Aged Bacon

1 bunch

Green Onions, thinly sliced

1

Small Avocado, diced

1/2 cup

Tomatoes or Cherry Tomatoes, diced

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425° F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Place cut sweet potatoes in a bowl, toss with the oil and sprinkle all over with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.  Arrange on the baking sheets in a single layer with no two fries touching.

  3. Place baking sheets on racks in the upper portion of your oven, and roast for 20-25 minutes until bottoms are browning. Remove from the oven, flip the fries and return to a single layer.  Rotate baking sheets 180 degrees AND switch oven racks top to bottom.

  4. Continue to bake another 10-15 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.  Oven times will vary, so your baking time might be shorter or longer.

  5. While the fries bake, make the cheese sauce. In a small blender, blend together all the cheese ingredients until very smooth. Depending on your blender, this might take several minutes. Once smooth, taste and adjust any seasonings to taste.

  6. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium high heat until crisp.  Drain on paper towels, crumble, and set aside.

  7. Arrange the baked fries on a platter and top with the cheese sauce, the crumbled bacon, avocado, green onion, and tomatoes.  Serve right away and enjoy!

    *Note: This will make more cheese sauce than you need for this recipe.  Leftovers save well in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or you can freeze to keep longer.
