Instructions
Buffalo Sauce
To make the buffalo sauce, combine the butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan. Heat over medium until the butter melts, whisking to combine.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Buffalo Cheeze Sauce
In a high-speed blender combine drained cashews, milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, pepper, hot sauce, paprika, celery seed, and dry mustard.
Blend on high until completely smooth and the exterior of the blender is warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
Classic Herby Ranch Dressing
Spoon the mayonnaise into a medium bowl. Using a Microplane, grate the garlic into a bowl (make sure to give the Microplane a good whack to release all of the garlic).
Add the nutritional yeast, onion powder, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
Whisk until smooth.
Stir in the herbs.
If you like a thinner dressing add a few tablespoons of plant-based milk.
The Sweet Potato Fries
Follow the cooking instructions on the back of your bags of sweet potato fries. I cooked mine in a deep fryer at 325 degrees for 4-6 minutes.
The cook time will depend upon how crispy you prefer your fries.
Assemble Your Cheezy Fries
Ladle 1/2 a cup Buffalo cheeze sauce onto a serving dish. Place the fries on top of the sauce.
