Disneyland’s Pomme Frites Copycat Recipe

This fabulous dipping sauce Cajun remoulade is boldly flavorful, wonderfully creamy with a bright lemon burst and is the best sauce for dipping these hot and salty Disneyland copycat pomme frites (french fries)!

The Cajun Remoulade

We started making this sauce because of my obsession with the pomme frites (oh my gosh I can’t even write it without my mouth watering!!!!) and sauce at Disneyland. Literally the best fries and sauce ever. My goodness!!!

After a couple years of making sauces from scratch, I decided to take a short cut on this one. Everyone says this sauce is like thousand island dressing, but there’s more to it. So I use some thousand island which is easier than opening tomato paste, and then add some extra dimension to it. Boom…this new recipe was born!

What is a Remoulade?

A remoulade, plain and simple, is a cold sauce based on mayonnaise. It just sounds much fancier than french fry dip, don’t you think?!

What are Pomme Frites?

Pomme frites is just a fancy and fun way to say french fries. When I say that I just ate my weight in pomme frites, it sounds much better than french fries. Ha!

The Homemade Pomme Frites

We’ve been making homemade french fries for forever but we are finally including the recipe here! It’s so easy!

Have you ever had the pomme frites at Cafe Orleans at Disneyland? Please tell me you have! Hot salty fries are my happiest place on earth. Give me an irresistible sauce to dip them in, and you can forget about it!

We double fry the pomme frites, and then top them Parmesan, garlic (fresh), fresh parsley, salt and a little of the Cajun seasoning.

What Ingredients are Needed for Pomme Frites Sauce?

You’re just a few ingredients away from the best dipping sauce for french fries. Trust me on this one friends…you’ll never want to dip those golden hot fries in anything else! Here is your ingredients list:

• Mayonnaise
• Thousand Island Dressing
• Worcestershire Sauce

Gooey Biscoff Crumb Bars

These Biscoff crumb bars are crazy rich but I can’t resist them! A thick and chewy cookie base topped with a layer of melty Biscoff spread, then roasted marshmallows and a crunchy crumb topping with a Biscoff drizzle…holy heaven!

We’ve been loving making campfire banana boats this summer and on a whim I made the most delicious Biscoff version. Immediately we all obsessed that it was the best banana boat ever but it didn’t stop there. By the next morning I’d barely slept as I kept dreaming of turning them into a dessert bar.

I debated sooooo much on every aspect of these bars but nothing as much as the base. Finally I decided on a snickerdoodle cookie base and I’m telling you, I am trying so hard to be humble but they are amazing. Even my family agrees, best dessert ever.

That slightly salty crumb topping is essential to balance this overly sweet bar and the marshmallow amount is totally up to you. I like a little less while my kids want more goo!

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff is a spread, similar in texture and consistency to peanut butter, made of ground up Biscoff cookies mixed with fat, flour and sugar.

What Flavor is Biscoff?

Biscoff spread and cookies have a warm caramel-y flavor with hints of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Where to Buy Biscoff?

You can find Biscoff at most grocery stores. I’ve seen it at Kroger stores, Walmart, Target, Trader Joe’s, Harmon’s, etc. You’ll find it either by the peanut butter and other nut butters or on the cookie aisle.

When you find it, grab a jar for this recipe and then grab another one and make our Biscoff stuff snickerdoodle cookies. You’ll thank me later!

Ingredients for Biscoff Crumb Bars

Now that we have all those logistics out of the way and you know what you are looking for and where to look for it, here are the other ingredients you will need…

• Butter: should be unsalted and softened so that is whips together with the sugars to be light and fluffy
• Sugar: just regular white granulated sugar
• Brown Sugar: adds richness and flavor
• Vanilla: adds flavor
• Eggs: one egg and an extra yolk will provide a perfect structure for the base of these dessert bars
• Flour: just all-purpose flour
• Salt: enhances all the flavors
• Baking Powder: acts as a leavening agent and gives the bars their rise and fluffiness
• Baking Soda: same purpose as the baking powder
• Cream of Tartar: adds a little tang to the bars that is a snickerdoodle signature
• Cornstarch: keeps the bars chewy but also fluffy
• Biscoff: adds flavor, warmth, and the most delici

Welcome to the weekend, my friends! We had a great time in the White Mountains of Arizona with my family last weekend. (Thank goodness we weren’t headed to the valley where it’s approximately the temperature of my oven this summer.) The heat wave in the mountains was less than awesome this year, but at 9000′ it wasn’t awful.

I’ve probably driven between AZ and NM at least 100 times in my life and this time it was a whole new experience. We took 117 for a portion of the trip and we stumbled on an unexpectedly stunning drive. We stopped and walked the short trail up to La Ventana Arch. It is about 18 miles south of Interstate 40 off Exit 89 and it is well worth the stop.

Make Ahead Breakfast Potatoes

However, as much as I love having roasted and pan-fried potatoes with our eggs for breakfast, it’s unlikely that I’m going to be willing to spend time chopping and roasting them most mornings.

Instead, I throw a tray of these in the oven at other times during the day when I might already have the oven on. They take about 45 minutes to roast, but when the oven is already on, it doesn’t seem like much effort at all.

Crispy Breakfast Potatoes

When I’m ready to use these potatoes, I simply put the amount that I need in a skillet over medium heat to warm them and let them get just a bit crispy again before serving.

And if I’m in a serious hurry, they reheat nicely in the microwave too.

Mix the flavors up each time you make them. Add whichever seasonings you like to your next batch of potatoes. Seasoning mixes, thyme, rosemary, garlic, or pretty much anything will work here.
