Instructions
-
OVEN: Preheat oven to 425°F.
Arrange frozen potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 25-30 minutes or until crispy. Stir halfway through cooking time to ensure even baking.AIR FRYER: Preheat air fryer to 360°F.
Fill basket with half the frozen potatoes. Cook 12-14 minutes. Slide out basket halfway through cooking time and shake. -
While fries are baking, place a large frying pan over a medium-high heat
and allow pan to get hot. Then pour a little bit of vegetable oil in your hand
and rub it onto each jalapeño chile to coat them lightly. -
Place chiles using tongs into the heated frying pan and cook on each side until charred on all sides. About 4 minutes on each side.
-
Pour water over chiles and place a lid on pan and allow to cook/steam for
an additional 3-4 minutes. -
Remove chiles from pan and place on an aluminum lined cookie sheet. Take
a small knife and cut a slit down the length of the top of each chile. Be
careful to only cut the top layer of the chile skin and not cut all the way
through. -
Carefully open the slit and stuff the center of the chile with 1 tablespoon
cheese, an already cooked fry, and top with another tablespoon of cheese. Once all the chiles are cut and stuffed, place
in the preheated oven and bake for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. -
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
