Ingredients

• 1 pound frozen French fries
• 2 cups chili (homemade or canned)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for drizzling
• Optional: jalapeño slices for garnish

How to Make Loaded Chili Cheese Fries

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen French fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake according to package instructions until golden and crispy, usually about 25-30 minutes.
2. While the fries are baking, prepare the chili. If using canned chili, heat it in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. If making homemade chili, ensure it’s fully cooked and seasoned to your liking.
3. In a small saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into separate small bowls. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully slide one egg at a time into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the fries, then spoon the warm chili on top.
5. Carefully place the poached eggs on top of the loaded fries. Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of sliced green onions. Add jalapeño slices if desired for an extra kick.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy every cheesy, chili-filled bite!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crispy fries, consider double-frying them or using an air fryer.
• Season your chili with spices like cumin or chili powder to enhance the flavor.
• Use a slotted spoon to ensure your poached eggs are not too watery when serving.

Easy Variations

• Swap the cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicier flavor.
• Use turkey or veggie chili for a lighter version.
• Add toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, or cilantro for freshness.

What to Serve With It

• A refreshing side salad to balance the richness.
• Guacamole and tortilla chips for extra snacking.
• A cold beverage like beer or a homemade lemonade.
