How to make Cheesy Fries
Preparing the Fries
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips.
Soak the potato strips in water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a towel.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot.
Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy.
Remove the fries and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Adding Cheese
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the fries on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the fries.
Sprinkle paprika on top for added flavor.
Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
