Instructions
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over french fries on a sheet pan. Toss the fries to ensure they are evenly coated and cook to package instructions.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan melt butter with cornstarch on medium heat.
- Slowly add the heavy cream and stir together with the cornstarch butter mixture. Cook until small bubbles appear.
- Reduce heat to low and then add the cheese and taco seasoning. Stir until smooth and combined about 5 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Prepare nacho toppings and once the fries are ready, serve immediately with warm cheese sauce and toppings of choice.
Notes
- Though I recommend eating these fresh, you can store leftovers. Keep the French fries, cheese sauce, and toppings separately.
- Store leftover in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
- I do not recommend freezing leftovers.
- Reheat the leftover French fries in the oven and pop the cheese sauce in the microwave at 30 second increments.
