Place the French fries in a large mixing bowl and add them to the seasoning mix.

Serve the fries with the cheese sauce on the side and enjoy!
# Notes:

You can substitute the jalapeño juice with a splash of hot sauce if you don't have pickled jalapeños.
02 -
For a shortcut, you can also bake the frozen fries according to package directions instead of frying them.
