Get ready to spice up your holiday celebrations with these Crispy Seasoned Nacho Fries and a Cheesy Jalapeño Dip. Perfect for cozy nights in or festive get-togethers, this dish brings a warm, zesty touch to your Christmas snacking spread.

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

Instructions

  1. Begin by stirring together the seasoning mixture ingredients in a small bowl, creating a vibrant blend ready to add festive flair to your fries.

  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan to 350°F, ensuring it’s at least 3 inches deep. Fry the fries in the hot oil for 6-8 minutes until they reach crispy perfection. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

  3. While the fries cool, prepare the cheese sauce. Tear the American cheese slices into smaller pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl with the milk and jalapeño liquid. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the cheese is melted and smooth.

  4. Toss the warm fries in the seasoning mixture, coating them with the rich, festive spices.

  5. Serve the seasoned fries with the warm, cheesy jalapeño dip on the side and enjoy a snack that’s sure to be a hit at your holiday table.
