Ingredients
How to make Air fryer jalapeño cheese loaded fries
Scrub the potatoes and slice them into uniform sticks, approximately 0.5cm thick. In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt until every surface is lightly coated. Using a bowl ensures even seasoning without making the fries soggy
Arrange the potatoes in the basket, try not to overcrowd them to ensure maximum airflow. Air fry for 18-24 minutes on 190c, giving the basket a vigorous shake every 5 minutes for an even, golden crunch
Once the fries are deeply golden and nearly finished (fries should be browned on the outside and soft in the middle), pause the air fryer. Sprinkle a generous layer of grated cheddar cheese and sliced jalapeños directly over the hot fries
Slide the basket back in and cook for the final 60 seconds. The residual heat and circulating air will transform the cheese into a bubbling, molten blanket over the spicy jalapeños
Carefully lift the fries out (a spatula helps keep the cheese intact) and serve immediately
Why use an air fryer?
Superior Crunch: Rapid air circulation creates a "deep-fried" texture without the grease. Speed: Go from frozen or fresh to loaded in under 30 minutes.
