Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat your oven according to package directions for your fries. Empty your bag of crinkles onto a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer and once your oven is preheated, baked until golden with some crisp action. I tend to cook mine a bit longer than what the package recommends.
- In the meantime, add your queso to a small, covered pot set to medium low. Heat up more if needed / desired. Stir occasionally as it warms until it's hot and bubbly. If it gets warmed up prior to your fries finishing, just reduce the temp until service.
- Once your fries are golden, remove the tray to a wire cooling rack and sprinkle the aged cheddar over the tray. Return your fries to the oven until your cheese is melty. Remove the tray and season your fries with a good pinch of salt & pepper.
- Divide your fries between your plates (2 main, 4 small side) and drizzle over your hot queso. Then, it's as simple as garnishing with a few dollops of hot salsa, some red and green onions, a sprinkle of pea shoots, and some fresh cilantro & jalapeno slices. Finish with a lime wedge and ENJOY!
