Ingredients
  • 2 mcdonald's medium fries
  • 1 1/2 pound potatoes, peeled and diced into large chunks
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. On a cutting board, cut the fries into medium-sized, ½-inch chunks.
  3. Place the puréed fries onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 5 minutes, until crisp tender. Turn the heat down to 200 degrees and keep warm until ready to incorporate into the mashed potatoes.

Drain, and add to a food processor or blender. Add the butter, milk, and sour cream and purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the mashed potatoes to a bowl and slowly fold in the crisp puréed McDonald’s fries. Serve hot.
