Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Bake the Fries

    Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with vegetable oil and toss to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for the recommended time or until golden and crispy, usually around 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Making the Green Chili Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the canned diced green chilies, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground cumin, and black pepper. Stir well to mix.

  2. 4

    Heat the Sauce

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Making the Cheese Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Roux

    In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until it turns a light golden color.

  2. 6

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and hot sauce until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 8

    Combine Everything

    Once the fries are baked, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Pour the green chili sauce over the fries, followed by the cheese sauce.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Slice the scallions thinly and sprinkle them over the top of the loaded fries. Serve immediately while hot.
