Step by Step instructions for making chili cheese fries
The first step is to make yourself some delicious crispy fries. You can use any style of fries that you want but for this recipe we recommend a classic French fries recipe. follow our classic French fry recipe here Standard Cut French Fries. all right now that you got yourself some scrumptious fries take a few minutes to prepare the additional toppings.
Step two, grab yourself a cutting board and a sharp knife and start slicing your green onion into 1/4 inch pieces. dice your tomatoes as well at this point and place your toppings to the side for the time being.
this step is totally optional but we think it makes the dish. Make yourself a awesome sauce to drizzle over the top of your chili cheese fries by mixing 1/2 a cup of sour cream and 2 table spoons of Cholula hot sauce. You can always add more hot sauce to the sour cream to the level of heat you enjoy.
we like to keep things simple with this recipe so we use our favorite canned chili but you can use whatever chili you prefer whether that chili is homemade or canned it will still be delicious. Take your fries and make a large pile of fries that emulates the size of mount Everest and dump a generous amount of hot chili on top of your fries.
once your fries have their chili the next step is to add a generous amount of cheddar cheese to the mountain of chili fries to complete the chili cheese fries trio.
Add your green onions and tomatoes that you chopped earlier to the chili cheese fries and you will be one step closer to the best fries you have ever had.
The last step is to take your special sauce and drizzle it over the top of your chili cheese fries.
