Cheese Fries Ingredients

Method

Cheese Fries Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Bake or fry the frozen French fries according to package instructions until they are crispy and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage until fully browned. Break it into small pieces as it cooks. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to stir until the sauce thickens. Add the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the fries are ready, place them on a serving plate. Drizzle the cheese sauce generously over the fries, and then sprinkle the cooked chorizo on top. Garnish with chopped green onions.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your cheesy chorizo fries!
