FAQ

Q: Can I use frozen fries instead of fresh potatoes?
Yes, frozen fries work well. Just reduce the oil and adjust baking time as needed.

Q: What cheese gives the best crust?
Cheddar creates a bold, crispy layer, while mozzarella adds stretch. A blend offers the best of both.

Q: How do I keep the fries from sticking?
Using parchment paper and spacing the fries out prevents sticking and helps them crisp evenly.

Q: Can these be made ahead of time?
They’re best fresh, but you can prep and season the potatoes in advance, then bake when ready.
