# Ingredients:
→ Seasoning Mix
01 -
2 tablespoons paprika
02 -
2 teaspoons salt
03 -
2 teaspoons chili powder
04 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
→ Cheese Sauce
07 -
16 slices of American cheese
08 -
1 tbsp jalapeño jar brine
09 -
1/4 cup of milk
→ Fries
10 -
1 lb Ore-Ida frozen crispy fries
11 -
Vegetable oil for frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Stir the salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and cayenne (optional) together in a small dish so it's ready to sprinkle on after frying.
02 -
Fill a deep pot with about 3 inches of oil and heat to 350°F (180°C). Fry the frozen fries for 6-8 minutes till they turn golden. Drain on paper towels to soak up extra grease.
03 -
Break the cheese slices into pieces and put them in a microwave bowl with the milk and pickle brine. Zap it in short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring each time, until it's smooth and runny.
04 -
Shake the fries in a big bowl with your seasoning mix to coat them nicely. Serve with the warm cheese sauce for dipping right away.
# Notes:
01 -
Use a thermometer to keep oil temp steady for crunchier fries.
02 -
Reheat the cheese dip in the microwave briefly if it hardens.
03 -
Cut back on cayenne if you like less heat.
