Chili's Cheese Fries Recipe

With their crispy, Chili's Texas Cheese Fries are topped with melted cheese, savory bacon bits, and a touch of jalapeño heat, they are a true delight.
One key trick to getting your fries extra crispy is to rinse and dry the potato slices thoroughly before baking them.
I love how these fries pair so perfectly with a tangy ranch dip, making each bite an irresistible blend of flavors and textures.

  • Spread the frozen fries in an even layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake the fries for about 14 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes until crispy.
