What’s in Texas Cheese Fries?
This delicious appetizer, side, or midnight snack takes me just minutes to put together with these simple ingredients! I don’t want to admit how many times we make these at my house.
Frozen French Fries: While you could make this recipe with homemade French fries, you will save so much time by using frozen – and they will taste just as delicious. Butter: I like to use grass-fed butter in my recipes, but the important thing is to use real butter and not margarine. Garlic: One of the healthiest foods on earth, this ingredient always adds irresistible flavor to any recipe. Flour: All-purpose flour is all you need to thicken the cheese sauce. Milk: For the best, creamiest cheese sauce, go for full-fat milk in this recipe. Cheese: The recipe calls for yellow cheddar cheese, but you can also use another cheese like white cheddar, Colby, or Monterrey Jack. Cayenne Pepper: This red spice adds the right kick to turn up the heat slightly. Toppings: Chopped green onions and diced jalapenos add depth and flavor to this already flavorful comfort food dish.
Variations on Cheddar Cheese Fries
When I’m looking to add a bit of Mexican flair, I swap the cheese sauce for white queso, poblano queso, or Rotel dip. They’re also delicious made with my homemade nacho cheese.
What to Serve with Homemade Cheese Fries
While I could eat cheesy fried potatoes as a complete meal any day of the week, they go great with Air Fryer Hamburgers, Philly Cheesesteaks, or Stovetop Burgers.
