- Spread the fries out in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they’re not overlapping. This helps them crisp up evenly.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Bake until they are golden and crispy on all sides.
5. Add the Cheese:
- Once the fries are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
- Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries. You can also add some Parmesan for extra flavor.
- Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve:
- Remove the cheesy fries from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color (optional).
- Serve immediately with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- For extra crispy fries: You can also fry the fries in hot oil instead of baking them, but this adds a bit more work. For oven-baked fries, ensure the fries are spread out in a single layer and not overcrowded.
- Cheese options: Feel free to mix different cheeses like mozzarella for a stretchy, gooey texture or gouda for a smoky flavor.
- Spicy option: Add jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top for a spicy kick.
