Ingredients
Potatoes
To make the best nacho fries, start with 4 large russet potatoes. They are starchy and provide a nice crispiness when baked or fried. Cut them into thin strips to ensure even cooking and a satisfying crunchy texture.
Oil
Use about 1 quart of vegetable oil for frying the potatoes. The oil helps achieve that golden-brown color and crispy exterior that everyone loves in their nacho fries. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying for optimal results.
Cheese Sauce
Prepare 1 cup of cheddar cheese sauce. You can use store-bought or homemade cheese sauce to drizzle over your fries. The creamy texture and rich flavor add a delicious touch that completes the dish.
Seasoning
For seasoning, mix together 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt. This blend adds an extra kick and enhances the overall flavor profile of your nacho fries.
Jalapeños
Optional but recommended, use ¼ cup of sliced jalapeños for topping. These add a spicy element that pairs perfectly with the cheese sauce and fried potatoes.
