Cheesy Fries – GAPS Approved

Switching to a real food diet free of processed foods, sugars and starches heals the gut but sometimes the absence of “comfort food” is depressing. This dish of cheesy fries is nourishing, filling and will not feed pathogens in the gut.

On its own, it’s a meal! The whole family can sit down to one cookie sheet full of cheesy fries and no one complains they are hungry for hours.

First fry organic celery root or organic rutabaga in home rendered pastured lard, tallow, bacon grease (especially if it’s from these bacon wrapped hearts while cooking) and/or

Cover with fresh ground sausage preferably from pastured pork. We do not use pre-seasoned ground sausage because of the added sugar and potential free flowing agents, wheat and anti-caking agents. To avoid these pathogen feeding fillers we use ground sausage from our favorite local farmer and season it with mineral salt, pepper, sage, thyme and red pepper flakes. 

Cover the top with raw cheese or approved block cheeses. It is best to use cheese which contain full fat milk, not skim milk. The ingredients list should read: milk, enzymes, salt.

Cook in the oven on 500 degrees for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned to your liking. 

Serve with fresh sliced organic jalapenos and home brewed sour cream.
