1
Prepare the Fries
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the shoestring potatoes in batches and fry until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.
2
Make the Queso Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and milk. Stir until melted and smooth. Add diced jalapeños, garlic powder, cumin, and salt to taste. Mix well and keep warm.
3
Prepare the Smoked Chipotle Mezcal Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the minced smoked chipotle peppers, mezcal, lime juice, honey, and salt to taste. Mix until well combined.
4
Assemble the Dish
On a serving platter, layer the crispy fries and generously drizzle the queso sauce over them. Serve with the smoked chipotle mezcal sauce on the side.
