Pizza fries are one of those dishes I never get tired of making because everyone in my family loves them.
These pizza fries are loaded and overflowing with stretchy mozzarella and pizza toppings!
Pizza Fries Recipe
In this recipe, instead of typical pizza crust, the fries become the crust to hold the cheesy and gooey toppings together. It is okay to say that this recipe is a two-in-one dish; a combination of two different popular snacks.
This cheesy pizza fries dish is my go-to recipe for an easy appetizer or side dish for a weeknight dinner; my kids enjpy them, and the best part is it only takes five minutes or so to put together.
This recipe is the perfect snack, lunch or dinner for game day. It is also quick and easy to make. Plus, it is a vegetarian recipe, and there is no meat in it.
I don't recommend storing or freezing this dish. The texture and taste will definitely be ruined by freezing or storing.
You'll Need
French Fries. Choose any french fries you prefer for this recipe, they will serve as the pizza crust for this recipe instead of using actual pizza dough.
Pizza Sauce. I use store bought pizza sauce.
Cheese: I use both mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Thyme. It is one of the few herbs that go well with cheese.
Green Olives. They make an excellent addition to the toppings in this recipe alongside cheddar and mozzarella.
