Chili Cheese Fries

These are not what most people think of when they here chili cheese fries, as there is actually no pre-made chili involved, just chili powder and chili flakes if desired.

I totally agree with the author: These are my new favorite thing. I made these for lunch when my daughter came to visit, and we both loved the cheesy, spicy goodness of these delicious, baked (hard to believe!) fries. We used the maximum amount of cheese called for and the suggested McCormick grill seasoning, which I already had on hand. As a matter of fact, I had all the ingredients on hand for these, including the fresh chives, which I had left over from some previous recipes. No reason not to make these often. Baking for 40 minutes provided the perfect crunchiness for our tastes and it was the perfect amount for the two of us.
