Ingredients

Fries

  • 1 bag (28 oz) frozen crinkle-cut fries

Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup guacamole (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the fries to a perfect crisp.
  2. Bake Fries: Spread the frozen crinkle-cut fries evenly on a baking sheet. Bake according to the package instructions, typically around 25-30 minutes, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Add Cheese and Melt: Remove the fries from the oven and generously sprinkle 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the hot fries. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Add Jalapeños and Green Onions: After the cheese has melted, evenly layer 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños over the cheese, followed by 1/4 cup chopped green onions for a fresh, spicy bite.
  5. Top with Sour Cream and Guacamole: Drizzle 1/2 cup sour cream over the loaded fries and add dollops of 1 cup guacamole to complete the toppings.
  6. Serve: Serve the loaded nacho fries immediately on plates or keep them on the baking sheet for casual dining and sharing.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or pickled jalapeños depending on your preferred spice level and flavor.
  • For extra zest, add a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or a dash of hot sauce on top.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
  • Guacamole can be homemade with ripe avocados, lime juice, salt, and diced tomatoes or purchased from the store for convenience.
