"There is a lot to love about frozen French fries. They're so simple to make; just pop them on a sheet pan, in your air fryer, or a toaster oven and cook them until they're crispy and golden brown. This budget-friendly freezer staple can save you a trip to your favorite fast food joint, though even we can admit that the flavor of frozen fries can be a little worse for wear."
"There are so many varieties of canned chili out there, including those with just beans, no beans, meat, no meat, extra bold, and mild. Whichever you choose, your crispy fries will be complemented by the perfect addition of tang and zest from the canned chili. Moreover, the chili can be heated up and poured right onto your fries after they're done cooking; you may just want to keep a fork handy so that they're easier to eat."
"That being said, there are many ways you can balance out chili fries that are too salty. Adding a fresh element, like chopped scallions, can integrate a fresh, alliumy pop into your bite. If you prefer something more decadent, you can crack open a warmed container of store-bought queso and drizzle it on; the creamy cheese would highlight both the crispy, salty fries and the flavorful chili well."
Frozen French fries are easy and inexpensive to prepare by baking, air-frying, or toasting until crispy and golden, but their flavor can be lacking. Canned chili offers a quick, complementary topping, available in bean, meat, mild, and bold varieties, and can be heated and poured directly over fries. Sodium content varies, so choosing low-sodium chili can prevent over-salting, especially when fries are pre-salted. Saltiness can be balanced by adding fresh elements like chopped scallions or by drizzling warmed store-bought queso for creamy contrast, which highlights both the crispy fries and flavorful chili.
