How to Make Pizza Fries

Step 1: Prepare the Fries

Cook your fries according to the package instructions or make your own from scratch. You’ll want them extra crispy so they hold up under all that cheesy, saucy goodness.

Step 2: Add the Sauce

Once your fries are golden and crispy, spread them out on an oven-safe dish or baking sheet. Drizzle pizza sauce evenly over the fries, making sure every bite has a little flavor.

Step 3: Layer on the Cheese and Toppings

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella over the fries. Add your favorite pizza toppings like pepperoni, olives, or anything else you love.

Step 4: Bake Until Melted

Pop the tray into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once the cheese is perfectly gooey and melted, remove from the oven, sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning, and serve hot!

Expert Tips and Tricks

Extra crispy fries: To keep fries from getting soggy, bake or air-fry them until extra crispy before adding the toppings.
Layering is key: Spread the fries in a single layer to ensure even coverage of sauce and cheese.
Spice it up: Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for a little kick.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

Different cheeses: Swap mozzarella for cheddar, gouda, or a blend for extra flavor.
Meat lovers’ version: Add crumbled bacon, sausage, or even shredded chicken.
Veggie-loaded: Throw on some mushrooms, onions, spinach, or roasted red peppers.
Garlic butter base: Instead of pizza sauce, toss the fries with garlic butter and Parmesan before adding cheese.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These Pizza Fries are delicious on their own, but they pair wonderfully with:

Dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli
A side salad for a balanced meal
A cold soda or iced tea to wash it down
A bowl of soup like tomato basil for a cozy combo

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes or in an air fryer for 3-4 minutes to keep them crispy.
Avoid microwaving, as it can make the fries soggy.

FAQs

Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen fries?
Yes! Just slice them into thin strips, toss with a little oil and salt, and bake at 425°F (220°C) until crispy before adding toppings.

What’s the best cheese for Pizza Fries?
Mozzarella is the classic choice, but a blend of mozzarella and provolone gives great flavor and stretchiness.

Can I make these ahead of time?
It’s best to serve them fresh, but you can prep the fries and toppings ahead and assemble them just before baking.

What’s a good dipping sauce for Pizza Fries?
Marinara, ranch, garlic butter, or even barbecue sauce work great.
