Fries

Cheese Topping

Chili Mayo

Method

Prepare the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to form fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Remove the fries from the water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Prepare the Cheese Topping

  1. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    In a saucepan over low heat, combine the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.

Prepare the Chili Mayo

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chili powder, garlic powder, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth.

Assemble the Cheese Fries

  1. 7

    Combine and Serve

    On a sizzling hot plate, layer the crispy fries, pour the melted cheese over the top, and drizzle with chili mayo. Serve immediately.
