Comfort food is by far my favorite of all foods. But before jumping into junk food, it’s always a good idea to resist and make a better version at home. Chili cheese fries take me back to my high school days when we would walk to the nearest hot dog place and pick up an order. They are definitely the best treat after a long day! Once in a long while, I prepare this fun recipe for a family backyard barbecue or a picnic as we watch the children play baseball and enjoy spring.

Ingredients

  • Oil, for frying
  • 2 lbs fresh potatoes, sliced
  • 1 15-oz can chili with beans
  • 4 ozs Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 1/3 onion, chopped
  • 2-3 pickled jalapeños, sliced in rounds

Directions

  • 1
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place potatoes in oil and cook until golden brown. Place on a plate lined with paper towels and allow to drain.
  • 2
    In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, heat chili for 5 minutes.
