Green Chile Sauce

Method

Cooking the Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare and Cook Fries

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Fry the Fries

    Add the frozen French fries to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Set Aside

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt to taste.

Making the Green Chile Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the canned green chiles, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

  2. 5

    Heat the Sauce

    Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 6

    Layer the Fries

    Place the cooked fries on a large serving platter or individual serving plates.

  2. 7

    Add the Green Chile Sauce

    Pour the warm green chile sauce evenly over the fries.

  3. 8

    Top with Cheese and Garnish

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sauce, followed by the chopped green onions and sliced jalapeños.
