• Feel free to customize the toppings by adding diced onions, green onions, or chopped tomatoes.
• If you prefer a milder version, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before slicing.

Storage and Serving

• These cheese fries are best served immediately while they are hot and crispy.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the fries on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
