• 1/4 cup pesto

How to Make Loaded French Fries with Dipping Sauces

1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package.
2. Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for the time specified on the package, usually around 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
3. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce to create spicy mayo. Adjust the sriracha to your preferred level of heat.
4. Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. While the cheese is melting, prepare the dipping sauces. In separate small bowls, place the sour cream, ketchup, spicy mayo, and pesto.
6. Once the cheese is melted, remove the fries from the oven and immediately top with chopped green onions.
7. Serve the loaded French fries hot with the assortment of dipping sauces on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crispy fries, consider double-baking them by cooking them for a few extra minutes after cheese has melted.
• Feel free to use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for varied flavors.
• To make cleanup easier, line your baking sheet with parchment paper.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked bacon bits or crumbled sausage for a heartier option.
• Top with jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Use a blend of cheeses for a more complex flavor profile.
• Try adding diced tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean twist.

What to Serve With It

• A refreshing garden salad to balance the richness of the fries.
• Chicken wings with a variety of sauces for the ultimate snack spread.
• Veggie sticks with ranch dressing for a crunchy addition.
• Sliders or mini sandwiches for a complete meal.
