Crispy Seasoned Fries with Cheesy Jalapeño Dip
Ingredients:
– 1 lb Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Frozen Fast Food Fries
– Vegetable Oil for Frying
For the Seasoning Mixture:
– 2 tbsp Paprika
– 2 tsp Salt
– 2 tsp Chili Powder
– 1 tsp Garlic Powder
– 1 tsp Onion Powder
– 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
For the Cheese Sauce:
– 16 slices American Cheese
– 1/4 cup Milk
– 1 tbsp Liquid from the Jar of Jalapeño Slices
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together the seasoning ingredients and set aside.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan, at least 3 inches deep, to 350°F.
3. Fry the fries in the hot oil for 6-8 minutes until crispy. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. While the fries cool slightly, prepare the cheese sauce. Unwrap the American cheese slices and tear them into smaller pieces. Place them along with the other cheese sauce ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.
5. Microwave the cheese mixture uncovered in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the cheese is melted and well combined.
6. Place the fries in a large mixing bowl and toss them with the seasoning blend.
7. Serve the seasoned fries with the cheese sauce on the side for dipping and enjoy!
