Ingredients

Cheese, grated (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
Bacon bits, cooked and crumbled
Spring onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Execution
Prep the Fries: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss the potato wedges with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Spread the wedges on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Assemble the Loaded Fries: Once the fries are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish.
Drizzle them generously with your chosen Nando’s sauce.
Top with a generous amount of grated cheese.
Sprinkle with bacon bits and chopped spring onions.
For an extra kick, add some sliced jalapeños.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy fries, flavorful sauce, melted cheese, and savory toppings.
Deglaze with Brandy and Wine: Pour in brandy, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Add white wine and let it simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
Add Tomato Paste and Stock: Stir in tomato paste, then add seafood or lobster stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45-60 minutes to develop flavors.
