Cheese fries are a classic comfort food, but this unique twist on the dish using boiled potatoes adds a new level of heartiness and flavor. By boiling the potatoes first, you get a tender yet firm texture that crisps up beautifully when fried. Topped with melted cheese, these fries are the perfect side dish or snack, with a balance of crispy outside and fluffy inside.
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, boiled and peeled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese of choice)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil for frying)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)
- Sour cream or ketchup, for serving
Instructions:
- Boil the Potatoes:
- Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water for about 10-12 minutes, or until tender but not falling apart.
- Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly before
