Crushed red pepper
Chili powder
Black pepper
Bacon Bits (If desired)
Ore Ida Zesty Twirls
Sargento Brand Double cheddar (sharp and mild) shredded cheese.
Sour cream (If desired, for dipping)
Cook the fries. It tells you how in the instructions. DO NOT ADD THE OTHER INGREDIENTS IN THIS STEP. That comes later.
Grab a small handful of cooked fries and put them on a plate. Cover with cheese. Add plenty of the red pepper, chili powder, black pepper, and Bacon Bits (if desired. Not too many bacon bits, though). Repeat until all the fries are on the plate, covered in cheese.
Microwave fries for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, or until cheese is fully melted.
Get yourself a small bowl of sour cream (or other favorite dipping sauce) to dip the fries in and help ward off the possibility of setting your mouth on fire, and enjoy!
Note about the curly fries- about 3/4 of the way through the baking you have to take them out and stretch out the tightly curled ones, because sometimes there’s a solid cylinder of potato that doesn’t cook period and it makes for a very icky surprise if you don’t remove them a little ways before the fries are done.
