Tips to Perfect Loaded Nacho Fries
If you’re looking to make this quickly without a big mess, prep your baking sheet with aluminum foil and serve it as is (as pictured).
This meal is no-muss, no fuss- set out utensils for people to dish up some tasty loaded fries, and toss the foil away when it is time to clean up.
It’s a seriously easy addictive appetizer that you’ll get asked to make again and again!
-Pre Bake Fries.
Toss frozen fries onto a baking sheet with a little cooking spray and bake until crispy, about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. You can bake the fries while browning taco meat!
-Use fresh baked fries.
For a homemade spin on this dinner, use my air fryer french fries or crispy baked french fry recipe – making at home means less preservatives, additives, and less sodium.
-Add salsa last.
If you’d like to add crema, guacamole, hot sauce, or salsa on your fries, add it after baking to prevent fries from getting soggy.
-Try queso instead of melted cheese.
For a creamy take, try baking the fries with queso poured on top instead of melted cheese for cheese fries your family will love!
