The ‘Trisha’s Southern Kitchen’ star raided her pantry to come up with a killer curly fry appetizer
Yearwood raided her pantry and put together ingredients that would synchronize with one another to come up with a killer curly fry appetizer.
The sweet, salty, and savory combination will be a hit.
The ingredients include frozen seasoned curly fries, a blend of Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses, cornstarch, half and half, ranch dressing, bacon, and french fried onions.
However, a pop of brightness comes from fresh cilantro and heat from Sriracha, drizzled on top.
Preheat your oven and bake curly fries until they are just crispy.
In a bowl, toss the cheese and cornstarch together in a small saucepan. Add the half-and-half.
Cook this mixture over medium heat, constantly whisking until reaching a smooth consistency.
Place the baked fries on a serving plate. Pour cheese sauce over the potatoes, followed by ranch dressing, bacon, onions, and cilantro. Add siracha as a final ingredient to taste.
Pair this savory appetizer with a sweet finish
A fan of sweet and savory combinations, Yearwood developed a wonderful and sweet recipe for Peanut Butter and Jelly Bars that combine a taste of childhood in a baked bar. These have a cake-like consistency and just enough sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Yearwood subsequently admitted in an interview with Good Morning America that a favorite holiday-inspired these bars.
She shared her favorite comfort food combo-turned-dessert recipe with viewers of the morning news series in Dec. 2021.
Yearwood found inspiration for the treat in the holiday movie, A Charlie Brown Christmas.
“I love these because everybody loves peanut butter and jelly. We’re all kids at heart,” said Yearwood.
“And also Garth and I walked down the aisle to the music from A Charlie Brown Christmas, so it’s very sentimental for me. It’s very Christmas for me. It’s just special to me,” she explained.

Trisha’s Southern Kitchen airs Saturdays at noon on The Food Network.
