When developing this recipe, I wanted to create something that combines the comfort of fries with the indulgence of cheese. I experimented with different types of cheese and found that a blend of cheddar and mozzarella works best due to its meltiness and flavor depth. I also discovered that baking the fries at a high temperature ensures they turn perfectly crispy without the need for frying, which is a big plus!

Another fun tip I have is to add a sprinkle of your favorite spices before baking. I love using a dash of garlic powder and paprika for an extra flavor kick. The combination of the spices with the creamy cheese makes every bite even more delicious. Serve these fries with a side of dipping sauce for an added treat!

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Super Bowl Cheesy Baked Fries:

Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin strips. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Season the Fries

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.

Bake the Fries

Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Add the Cheese

Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy

Once the cheese is melted, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

With these easy steps, you'll have the ultimate cheesy fries ready to impress!

Pro Tips

For an extra touch, try adding jalapeños or bacon bits on top of the cheese for an added flavor kick.
