Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 cup Low sodium cheese sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 optional Fresh jalapeño

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them become crispier when baked.

Step 4

Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, ground cumin, and chili powder.

Step 6

Add the potato slices to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned potato fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

While the fries are baking, prepare your toppings. Chop the cilantro, slice the green onions, and slice the jalapeño, if using.

Step 10

Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 11

Drizzle the low sodium cheese sauce over the fries, then sprinkle with fresh cilantro, green onions, and jalapeño slices.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your tasty, low sodium nacho fries!
