French Fries Straight 2.5Kg

Spicy Loaded Home-Style Fries

Ingredients

1/2 bag: Fresh St. Straight-Cut Frozen Fries.

1 ½ cups: Shredded Cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend for better melting).

1-2: Fresh Jalapeños (thinly sliced; remove seeds for less heat).

1 tsp: Red Chilli Flakes.

Optional Toppings: Sliced green onions, a drizzle of ranch or sour cream, or crispy bacon bits

Method

1. The Base Bake
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Spread the frozen fries on a baking sheet in a strict single layer. Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Crucial Tip: You want the fries slightly more crisp than usual before adding toppings, as the cheese and jalapeño moisture will soften them slightly.

2. The First Layer
Once the fries are golden and crisp, remove the tray. Use a spatula to gather them into a tighter pile (but still spread out enough to allow the cheese to hit every fry). Immediately sprinkle half of your chili flakes over the hot fries.

3. The Melt
Pile the shredded cheese generously over the fries. Scatter your sliced jalapeños and the remaining chili flakes on top of the cheese.

4. The Broil
Return the tray to the oven. If your oven has a broil setting, turn it on high for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely—you want the cheese bubbling and just starting to brown, and the jalapeños to soften and blister slightly.

5. Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let sit for 60 seconds (this helps the cheese "grip" the fries). Add any cold toppings like green onions or sour cream and serve directly from the tray or slide onto a platter..
