Loaded Nacho Fries are a delicious and indulgent appetizer featuring crispy baked crinkle-cut fries topped with sharp cheddar cheese, spicy jalapeños, creamy sour cream, fresh guacamole, and green onions. Perfect for game day, parties, or a tasty snack.

Ingredients

Fries and Cheese

  • 28 oz frozen crinkle-cut fries
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the fries to a crispy texture.
  2. Bake fries: Spread the frozen crinkle-cut fries evenly on a baking sheet. Bake them according to the package instructions, about 25 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Add cheese: Remove fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese generously over the top to cover evenly.
  4. Melt cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  5. Add toppings: Carefully layer sliced jalapeños over the melted cheese followed by chopped green onions to add flavor and color.
  6. Finish with sauces: Drizzle sour cream over the loaded nacho fries and add dollops of guacamole for creaminess and cool contrast to the heat.
  7. Serve: Serve the loaded nacho fries immediately on plates or directly from the baking sheet for a casual and fun dining experience.

Notes

  • For extra crispy fries, spread them out in a single layer without overlapping on the baking sheet.
  • Feel free to customize toppings by adding cooked ground beef, black beans, or diced tomatoes.
  • Use pickled jalapeños for a tangier kick or fresh ones for more heat.
  • If you prefer a milder dish, reduce or omit the jalapeños.
  • Guacamole can be homemade for fresher taste or store-bought for convenience.
  • Make sure to serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
