What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Waste Not, Want Not: Volcano Cheese Fries! Say, Whaaat? I first had these tasty morsels at my fav fish hut in Kauai. But after returning home, I really had a craving for them again. Granted, being a Midwesterner, I simply couldn’t resist adding a glob of queso cheese on top. In my defense, the bonfires we have always mix the colors of fiery red and golden yellow. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. But if you have the willpower, I won’t be offended if you skip it. The furikake seasoning and sriracha sauce are the star attractions anyway.
VOLCANO CHEESE FRIES
Ingredients:
16 ounces shoestring fries, frozen
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1/3 cup Queso cheese dip, warmed
1 tablespoon furikake seasoning
Instructions:
Bake French fried potatoes according to package directions. Remove from oven, sprinkle with sea salt. Toss gently. Transfer to a large bowl so the fries can be piled into a volcano mound. Drizzle sriracha sauce over the top, to taste. Add the warmed Queso cheese dip. Sprinkle with furikake seasoning. Serve immediately.
OMG, these sound awesome. They’d be great for watching football in the fall.

Any grocery store that has an international section. Otherwise, Amazon is always a good source. I buy it when I’m in Kauai and bring it back home. 🌿🌱🍃

Furikake seasoning isn’t something I’ve ever used. I wonder if my grocery store carries it.
This looks SO good, Gail.

Most do now. It’s in the Asian section. Typically, it contains toasted sesame seeds, seaweed, fish sauce, soy sauce, and spices. Personally, it’s an acquired taste, but so unique when you want it…nothing else will do. lol
