Cheese Fries Ingredients

2.2 lb (1 kg) Frozen French Fries

7.05 oz (200 g) Cheddar Cheese

3 1/2 oz (100 g) Monterey Jack Cheese

2 tbs olive oil

1 tsp Watkins paprika

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 stalks Green onions

3 1/2 oz (100 g) Sour cream

Method

Cheese Fries Directions

Prepare the Fries

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the frozen French fries packaging. Spread the frozen fries evenly on a baking sheet.

Season the Fries

Drizzle olive oil over the fries and sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly on top. Toss the fries gently to coat them evenly.

Bake the Fries

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the fries according to the package instructions or until they are golden brown and crispy, usually about 20-25 minutes. Make sure to flip them halfway through cooking for even crispiness.

Prepare the Cheese

While the fries are baking, grate the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and set aside.

Add Cheese to Fries

Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated cheeses evenly over the hot fries.

Melt the Cheese

Return the loaded fries to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Garnish and Serve

While the cheese is melting, chop the green onions. Once the cheese is melted, remove the fries from the oven and top with chopped green onions. Serve immediately with sour cream on the side for dipping.
