About this dish
With hot meat chili underneath and cheese sauce poured over it, every fry picks up both spice and creaminess.

Chopped jalapeno adds a sharp, fresh heat that cuts the richness.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Spread 300 g frozen french fries in a single layer so they do not steam.
Preheat the air fryer to 200 C, or heat frying oil until ready for crisp frying.
- 2
Cook the fries for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking once halfway through.
Take them out when the edges look golden and feel firm, since soft fries will turn soggy under the sauces.
- 3
Put 50 ml milk and 1 teaspoon butter in a small pot over low heat.
When the butter melts, add 4 slices of cheddar cheese and keep the heat gentle to prevent splitting.
- 4
Stir the cheese constantly over low heat so it melts smoothly without sticking.
Do not boil it; turn off the heat once the sauce pours smoothly.
- 5
Heat 1 cup meat chili sauce in the microwave or in a pan until hot.
If using a pan, stir over medium low heat just until a little moisture evaporates and the sauce stays spoonable.
- 6
Transfer the hot fries to a plate, then spoon on the chili sauce followed by the cheese sauce.
Finish with 10 g chopped jalapenos and a pinch of dried parsley, and serve immediately while crisp.
