Here’s a simple and delicious cheese-crusted fries recipe 🧀🍟
Ingredients (2–3 servings)
- 3–4 medium potatoes, cut into fries (or 1 bag of frozen fries)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- Optional toppings: chopped parsley, green onions, cooked bacon bits, or a drizzle of hot sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the fries
- If using fresh potatoes, preheat oven to 220 °C (425 °F).
- Toss potato fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake the fries
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Add the cheese crust
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the hot fries.
- Return to oven for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese melts and forms a gooey crust.
- Optional finishing touches
- Sprinkle with parsley or green onions.
- Add bacon bits or a drizzle of sauce if desired.
💡 Tips
- For extra crispiness, soak raw potato fries in water for 20–30 minutes before baking, then dry thoroughly.
- You can broil for 1–2 minutes at the end to get a slightly golden, bubbly cheese crust.
- Try mixing different cheeses for a richer flavor.
I can also give you a stovetop version that’s faster and super cheesy if you want. Do you want me to?
