# Steps:
01 -
Toss together onion powder, garlic powder, salt, chili powder, paprika, and that optional cayenne in a little bowl. Give it a good stir so it's all one color.
02 -
Fill your deep saucepan with oil, about 7.5 cm deep. Heat it to 180°C so it's good and hot.
03 -
Drop a handful of frozen fries into the hot oil. Let them cook 6-8 minutes or until they're golden brown and crunchy. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and lay them on some paper towels.
04 -
Rip up the cheese slices. Chuck them in a microwaveable bowl with the milk and jalapeño brine. Microwave it in 30-second pops, stirring each time, until it’s creamy and smooth.
05 -
Dump your hot fries into a big bowl. Sprinkle all the spice mix on top and toss till every fry is covered.
06 -
Pile the seasoned fries onto your favorite plate and put the gooey cheese sauce on the side for dunking.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep your oil hot the whole time for crispy fries. Don’t wait around—enjoy them as soon as they're out of the fryer.
