Fries and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the French fries package. Spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Bake until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Melt the Cheese

    Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries. Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce

    Remove the fries from the oven and drizzle with either the green or red chile sauce, or both for a mix of flavors.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the loaded fries to a serving platter or individual plates. Serve hot with extra chile sauce on the side if desired.
