Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup BBQ sauce
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or queso blend)
1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup sour cream for serving
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
Bake the Fries: Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are crispy and golden brown.
Combine Chicken and BBQ Sauce: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well-coated.

Assemble the Queso Fries: Once the fries are done, top them with the BBQ chicken and shredded cheese. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and a drizzle of sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
