1
Frying the Fries
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the shoestring potatoes in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season immediately with salt.
2
Preparing the Queso Sauce
In a saucepan, heat the queso blanco over medium heat until melted and smooth. Stir in diced jalapeños and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
3
Assembling the Dish
Place the crispy fries on a serving platter. Generously drizzle the queso sauce over the fries. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Serving Options
