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

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
On a cutting board, cut the fries into medium-sized, ½-inch chunks.
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.
Place the potatoes in a medium-sized saucepan filled with heavily salted water. Bring to a boil, and boil gently for 12 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender. 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.
Add the mashed potatoes to a bowl and slowly fold in the crisp puréed McDonald’s fries. Serve hot.
