Instructions:
1. Prepare the Seasoning Blend:
◦ In a small bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well and set aside.
2. Cook the Fries:
◦ Follow the instructions on the package to cook the frozen French fries. For the best results, deep-fry them at 375°F (190°C) for 3 to 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, you can bake them according to the package directions.
3. Season the Fries:
◦ Once the fries are cooked, place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle the prepared seasoning blend over the fries and toss to ensure even coating.
4. Prepare the Nacho Cheese Sauce:
◦ In a small saucepan over low heat, combine Cheez Whiz, whole milk, jalapeño brine, and ground cayenne pepper.
◦ Whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
5. Serve:
◦ Arrange the seasoned fries on a serving platter.
◦ Serve immediately with the warm nacho cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
