Oven Baked Curly Cheese Fries

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

These oven baked curly cheese fries are a wonderfully healthy potato snack.

Spiralized Curly Baked Cheese Potatoes

Who else is excited for Super Bowl Sunday? After all, we all know one of the best things about football parties. The food, of course! 😉 Today, I have a perfect party food for you that’s sure to be a hit on game day: oven baked curly cheese fries.

These aren’t ordinary cheese “fries”. They’re mixed with a hint of garlic, baked in the oven so no frying is required, and topped with aged cheddar cheese and fresh scallions. What a fun and healthy treat!

HOW TO MAKE THEM

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

To make the fries, first preheat the oven to 400 ℉. Next, prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

For slicing the potatoes, I used my 4-blade spiralizer from Paderno World Cuisine. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can also slice them by hand with a julienne peeler.

If you’re using a spiralizer like the Paderno, make sure to buy fat potatoes that are relatively straight. Peel them and trim the end of each potato flat in order to secure a firm hold onto the sharp prongs. Make sure to keep the potato centered in the unit. This will turn out wonderfully long spirals each time.

I sliced the potatoes using the blade with the large triangles. Then I snipped the slices into smaller 12-inch long strands. These strands will curl up, but any longer than that will be harder to eat.

Aren’t they pretty?  Just asking to be seasoned and baked to crispy perfection.

Transfer the curly potato strands to a large bowl. Mix oil, garlic and salt together in a small bowl and pour the oil mixture over the potatoes. Toss to coat.

Place potatoes on your parchment lined baking pan and bake for about 15 minutes. Spread them out so they’ll cook evenly. Then turn the potatoes over with a spatula and bake for 10 minutes more.

Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake for two more minutes until the cheese melts. I used an aged cheddar. Aged cheeses are supposed to have a lower lactose content than lesser aged varieties.

Voila! Wonderfully curly cheesy fries. No deep frying necessary. Make sure to save some for yourself as these will probably be wolfed down in minutes.

PRO TIPS AND RECIPE NOTES

  • I love topping these curly cheese fries with aged cheddar cheese. What kind of toppings would you add? Bacon, jalapeños, blue cheese, chili, tomatoes, avocado, mozzarella, sour cream, hot sauce or even caramelized onions? It’s up to you.

    These look really delicious, I would happily wolf these down on any day (let alone a sports game day!) I like the addition of the spring onions and garlic powder. I bet that really adds something.

      You’re so right, Sally. I have to make two trays of these because my family loves them at least once a week. No special occasion necessary. 🙂
