Homemade Pizza Fries

Pizza fries are a delicious lunch or dinner meal made with only four ingredients. They can be made with homemade fries or store bough frozen fries. This is a guide to making homemade fries turning them into pizza fries.

Everything you need:

  • Potatoes (I used russet but any kind will do.)
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Pasta sauce
  • Vegetable oil (or canola)

Cooking Materials:

  • A large pot (or a frying pan, but a pot reduces the chance of getting burned by hot oil)
  • A slotted spoon
  • Paper towels
  • A metal tray

Step One:

Peel those potatoes, you can leave the skin on if you like though. Chop them up in whatever size you prefer. I used thin slices because they are easier and quicker to cook. After chopping the potatoes put them in a container with cold water so that they don't brown.

Step Two:

Pour half a cup of oil into the pot. But depending on how big of put you're using you might need more. Just stop pouring when oil is covering the bottom of the pot completely, and has a bit of depth to it. Don't pour too much though, if it's too high then there's a higher risk of oil popping in your face. Turn the burner on to medium heat. Or if you plan to leave the stove (which you shouldn't) put it on low heat. But seriously, don't leave the kitchen.

Step Three:

Place some of the chopped potatoes onto a paper towel and pat them dry. Make sure they are dry! If they aren't, when you put them in the pot, the oil will pop. Use the slotted spoon to place a few potatoes into the pot. Keep putting the potatoes in until there's no more room. Remove the potatoes when they turn golden. If you like greasy fries, then put them on a tray, if you don't place them on a paper towel so the excess oil can get soaked up.

Step Four:

Prehear the oven to 350. When you finish cooking all of your potatoes (which are now fries), place them on a tray greased with crisco, or cooking spray. Spread the fries out and pour the pasta sauce* over them. Then sprinkle as much cheese* as you want and put them in the oven. *The amount of pasta and cheese varies from person to person.

Step Five:

Take the pasta sauce and cheese covered fries out of the oven when the cheese melts. This will take from 5-6 minutes.

Now you have pizza fries. I'm sure you know what to do next. :)
