Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Snag your favorite bag of frozen sweet potato fries or regular fries and and bake according to package instructions. I like to flip mine halfway to make them extra crispy! Feel free to think outside the box with this concept and use anything from curly fries to waffle fries to tater tots as your base.
  2. Bake your fries according to package direction, or opt for homemade by roasting sweet potato slices or wedges until nice and crispy.
  3. Flip halfway for extra crispy spuds.
  4. Arrange in a small pile in the center of a baking sheet and top with cheese, beans, and any veggies you'd like baked into the cheese fries, like jalapeños.
  5. Return to the oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is hot and melty.
  6. Top with all your favorite veggies, sauces, and toppings and dig in while they're hot and melty. SO GOOD!

Notes

  • Cooking times and seasonings may vary with different types of fries; flip halfway through to improve crispiness.
  • Customize toppings freely to complement cheese and sweet potatoes, adjusting texture and heat levels to taste.
  • Nutrition estimates cover base fries and cheese; add toppings mindfully to account for changes.
