Cheesy BBQ Pulled Pork Fries

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Base: Cook your fries according to the package instructions until crispy and golden. Spread them evenly across a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Add the Pork: In a small bowl, mix the pulled pork with the BBQ sauce until well coated. Distribute the pork evenly over the fries.
  4. Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the pork and fries.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Return the tray to the oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  6. Top & Serve: Add your favorite toppings — jalapeños for heat, green onions for freshness, and sour cream or ranch for a creamy finish. Serve hot, straight from the tray.

Variations:

  • Spicy Kick: Use a spicy BBQ sauce or add chipotle in adobo to the pork mixture.
  • Southwest Style: Top with corn, black beans, and pepper jack cheese for a Tex-Mex flair.
  • Loaded Version: Add crispy bacon bits, diced tomatoes, and a drizzle of nacho cheese.
  • Sweet Twist: Try it with a sweet honey BBQ sauce and pineapple chunks for a tropical touch.

Tips:

  • Extra Crispy Fries: Use an air fryer or bake fries a few extra minutes to avoid sogginess.
  • Prep Ahead: Have the pulled pork ready in advance to make this dish lightning fast.
  • Cheese Choices: Mix cheddar with Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a gooier melt.
  • Serve Immediately: These fries are best enjoyed right out of the oven for ultimate texture and flavor.
