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 jalapeƱos 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 200ĀŗC/390ĀŗF 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.
