For the Chile Cheese Fries

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the French Fries

    Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the frozen French fries. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake until crispy and golden brown, usually around 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the Chile Sauce

    Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven. Pour the red or green chile sauce evenly over the hot fries.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chile-covered fries. Place the baking sheet back in the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
