1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin wedges. Rinse the wedges under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a paper towel.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the potato wedges to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

4
Season the Fries
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fried potato wedges with chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Toss well to ensure the fries are evenly coated with the spices.
5
Add Lime and Garnish
Drizzle lime juice over the seasoned fries and toss again. Transfer the fries to a serving plate and sprinkle fresh cilantro and crumbled Cotija cheese on top.
6
Serve
Serve the Papas Fritas Enchiladas immediately while hot, and enjoy as a delicious side dish or snack!
