Baked jalapeño cheese fries

So, OK. We all know we shouldn’t want to eat crispy fries drenched in melted cheese and spicy jalapeños, but we do. And sometimes those cravings need to become a reality and in those moments, these baked jalapeño cheese fries will be there for you.

And let me just tell you that your friends and family will love nothing more than being served a big pan filled with cheese fries at your next gathering. Hello Superbowl Sunday!

How do you make cheese fries?

You can use baked fries, frozen frozen fries (cooked) or freshly fried fries to make cheese fries. Top the cooked fries with shredded cheese. I like using mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Toss the fries lightly. Top with pickled jalapeños then place in a hot oven. Allow to bake for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted. Remove from the oven, scatter with chopped chives and more freshly chopped chillies then serve.

How do you make french fries crispy in the oven?

Slice large potatoes into fries then toss with vegetable oil (I used canola) and salt. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake at 200ºC/390ºF until crisp and golden. I give them a flip half way through to make sure they all crisp evenly.

What is the best cheese to use for cheese fries?

A mixture of a good melting cheese and a strong cheese for flavor is ideal. Mozzarella, Fontina and Raclette are all great melting cheeses. For flavor, try a good strong, mature cheddar or Gruyere. Parmesan and Pecorino are also good additions.

    Are you using frozen or fresh cut fries. You state put canola/vegetable oil all over fries to make crispy are these fresh or frozen thawed. Not very specific. Recipe looks yummy & easy to make. Haven’t made so no rating & need questions answered.

      I used fresh cut fries. If you click on “Oven baked Fries” in the recipe it will take you to my recipe for easy oven fries.
