     Title: Crack Shack Mexican Poutine - PART 1
Categories: Potatoes, Vegetables, Chilies, Cheese, Poultry
     Yield: 4 servings

MMMMM---------------------------FRIES--------------------------------
     5 lb Russet potatoes; in batons
     2 tb Schmaltz
     2 qt Canola oil
          Salt & pepper

MMMMM------------------------CHEESE WIZ------------------------------
     1    Poblano pepper
     1    Jalapeno
     6 oz Pickled jalapenos
     2 oz Shredded cheddar cheese
     3 oz Heavy cream
       ds Salt
       ds Pickled jalapeno juice

MMMMM-----------------------PICO DE GALLO----------------------------
     1 c  Tomatoes
     3 ts Jalapeno; chopped
     3 tb Red onion; chopped
     1 tb Pickled jalapeno
     1 tb Cilantro
   1/2 ts Lime juice
          Salt & pepper

MMMMM-----------------------POLLO ASADO------------------------------
     1 c  Orange juice
   1/4 c  Garlic cloves
   1/2 c  Canola oil
     1 bn Green onions
     1 bn Cilantro
     5    Grilled guajillo chilies;
          - seeded, stemmed
 2 1/2 ts Kosher salt
     2 lb Boned, skinned chicken
          - thighs

 Scrub the potatoes clean and begin cutting each one into
 thick-cut fries. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to
 remove the starch and repeat 2-3 times until water is
 clear and not cloudy from starch.

 Keep the cut fries covered in water and place in the
 fridge to rest overnight. Resting the potatoes overnight
 further allows the remaining sugar and starch to set on
 outside the potato, which will allow your fries to be
 golden brown and crispy!

 Drain off water and air dry the fries when you are ready
 to cook. Make sure they are nice and dry as oil and
 water are not friends!

 Place oil in a cast iron pan and heat until the oil is
 350+|F/175+|C degrees. Working in batches to avoid
 overcrowding, slowly drop potatoes into oil, and make
 sure to keep a consistent temperature for duration of
 cooking.

 Cook each batch of fries until they are crispy and
 brown, about 3-6 minutes. Toss the finished fries in a
 large bowl with the schmaltz and salt and pepper until
 the fries are coated

 CHEESE WIZ: Blister the peppers over a flame until the
 outside is uniformly charred.

 Place the charred peppers in a container with a fitted
 lid so the peppers will steam and the skin will be
 easier to peel off.

 After about 10 minutes remove the peppers and clean them
 by removing the stems, skin, ribs and excess seeds.

 Place the cleaned peppers in a food processor or
 blender, add the pickled jalapenos and blend thoroughly.

 In a large pot, bring the milk and cream to a simmer
 over medium heat whisking frequently to avoid scorching
 the bottom, once the mixture starts to reduce, lower
 heat.

 Whisk the cheese mixture into the milk little by little,
 stirring constantly, and remove the pot from the heat
 once the cheese has begun melting.

 Add salt, blended pepper mixture and pickled jalapeno
 juice to the cheese sauce and blend thoroughly with an
 immersion blender.

          INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUE

 PICO DE GALLO: Begin by removing the seeds and ribs from
 the tomatoes and chop the cored tomatoes into a small
 dice. Place the chopped tomatoes in a medium sized bowl
 and set aside.

 Clean the fresh jalapeno by removing excess seeds and
 ribs and chop into a small dice. Add the chopped
 jalapeno to the bowl with the tomatoes.

 Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl with the
 tomatoes and jalapenos.

 Mince the pickled jalapenos and add them to the bowl,
 season with salt and pepper to taste and mix thoroughly.

 POLLO ASADO: Heat a grill and place green onions on
 grill grate to char, once charred remove and set aside.

 Place the guajillo peppers on a sheet tray in a
 350+|F/175+|C oven and toast until just fragrant, about
 two minutes. Once the peppers are toasted, submerge them
 in hot water until they are soft, about 10 minutes.

 While the peppers are steeping, remove all excess stems
 from the cilantro and set the cilantro leaves aside.
 When the peppers have softened, drain them and place in
 a blender or food processor with the cilantro, charred
 green onions, orange juice, and garlic cloves. Blend
 until smooth.

 Evenly coat the chicken thighs in the blended mixture
 and marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove
 chicken from the marinade grill over medium to high
 until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of
 165+|F/74+|C degrees.

 Slice the chicken into nice long 1/4" thick slices.

 CRACK SHACK MEXICAN POUTINE ASSEMBLY: Place the crispy
 French fries on a plate and evenly drizzle the warm
 jalapeno cheese wiz on top. Top with grilled chicken and
 pico de gallo, garnish with additional fresh cilantro.
 Enjoy!
