Salt and pepper to taste<\/span><\/p><\/li>- <\/span>
Vegetable oil for frying<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/span>Directions<\/span><\/h3>- Prepare fresh potatoes by washing, peeling, and cutting them into thin strips. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan, then fry the potato strips for about 5-7 minutes. For frozen fries, follow the package instructions for baking or frying. Once cooked, drain the fries on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil and season with salt and pepper.<\/li>
- Next, preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Spread the fries on a baking sheet, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over them. Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes.<\/li>
- After baking, remove the fries from the oven and top them with salsa, diced avocado, pickled jalape\u00f1os, black beans (Just to know, you can add any additional ingredients you like), and chopped cilantro. Also, you can add sour cream over the toppings for a creamy touch. Enjoy the Papas Locas while they are hot.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>

<\/span>Notes<\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t- If using frozen fries, bake or fry them according to package instructions before assembling. But it's better to make homemade fries.<\/li>
- For the topping added, you have so many options to use, Sometimes I used tomatoes, baked ham, and even chicken.<\/li>
- If you want to add some creamy taste you can a sour cream or a sauce of your choosing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>
