Taco Bell Nacho Fries (Print Version)

Crispy seasoned fries with bold spices, served warm with creamy nacho cheese for dipping.

# Ingredients:

→ Potatoes

01 - 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 cm thick fries

→ Seasoning

02 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional for additional heat
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

→ Garnish and Dip

09 - Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, optional for garnish
10 - Nacho cheese sauce, optional for serving

# Instructions:

01 - Rinse, peel, and slice the russet potatoes into uniform 1 cm thick fries.
02 - Submerge cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat completely dry.
03 - In a large bowl, toss fries with vegetable oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and ground cumin until evenly coated.
04 - Arrange fries in a single layer on a lined baking tray or prepare a pot of hot oil at 180°C. Bake for 30–35 minutes, turning midway, or deep fry until golden brown and crisp.
05 - Transfer hot fries to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro if desired. Present with nacho cheese sauce for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - For ultra-crispy fries, ensure potatoes are completely dry before seasoning and cooking.
