During my visit to Henry’s Tavern in Portland, Oregon, I savored their Gorgonzola Fries, which inspired me to create my own version at home. I recently mentioned these fries in a post about the top five Portland eats, and someone requested the recipe. While I wasn’t aiming to replicate Henry’s fries exactly, I believe my rendition is quite close.
You know how much I adore brown butter, right? Let’s dive into that. The rich, nutty brown butter gorgonzola sauce takes just a few minutes to prepare. Start by browning butter—simply melt it until it develops a slight nutty aroma, but be cautious not to let it burn!
To ensure the sauce remains smooth, I combined heavy cream with 2% milk. The addition of gorgonzola, ground sage, and a touch of cayenne makes for a perfect harmony of flavors. These fries are sure to be a hit!
I’m thrilled to share that I’m collaborating with McCormick again this season, and I’ll be featuring their Seasonal Seven Flavors: cinnamon, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, ginger, sage, vanilla, and peppermint. Specifically, I’ll showcase recipes incorporating sage.
Do you have a beloved sage-infused recipe? I’d love to hear about it! Feel free to share a link if you have one.
