How to Serve the Nacho Fries

I like to serve mine in two ways. One is as a snack, where I dip the fries into a delicious cheese sauce or garlic mayonnaise.

I also like to serve these fries as a side dish. They give an extra element of flavor to any dish. They’re ideal for summer with some grilled chicken and salad. Yum!

How to Store the Nacho Fries

They will taste better served immediately, but you can allow them to cool and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Then, you can reheat them in the air fryer to crisp them up again.

  • Make sure you shake the fries to coat them evenly with the seasoning. 
  • Check on your fries halfway through cooking and shake them again to ensure they cook evenly. 

With this method, you could coat freshly made potatoes and fries in advance and then air fry when ready to enjoy them.
