How do you make cheese fries?

Bake fries as directed then top with a mixture of cheeses and chopped pickled jalapeños. Bake in a hot oven until the cheese has melted then top with sliced chilli peppers and 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.
