1 tablespoon of brine from a jar of pickled jalapeños.
04 -
1 pound of frozen crispy-style fast food fries, like Ore-Ida.

Cooking oil, enough for deep frying.
06 -
2 tablespoons of paprika.
07 -
2 teaspoons of salt.
08 -
1 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powders.
09 -
2 teaspoons chili powder for a smoky kick.

A pinch of cayenne, if you’d like it spicier.
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small dish, stir together all your spice mix ingredients.

In a deep pot, bring 3 inches of oil to 350°F.
03 -
Carefully fry the frozen fries for 6-8 minutes until they’re golden and crisp.
04 -
Lay the hot fries on paper towels to soak up any oil.
05 -
Set the fries aside to cool off a little before seasoning.
06 -
Break up the cheese slices into a microwaveable bowl. Add milk and jalapeño brine. Warm it up in 30-second bursts, giving it a mix each time, till it’s smooth.

In a big bowl, mix your warm fries with the spice mix so every fry is coated.
08 -
Dish out those seasoned fries alongside your velvety cheese sauce for dipping.
# Notes:

For the best experience, eat these fries while they’re still super hot and crispy. Keep the cheese sauce warm and gooey for the perfect dip.
