Ingredients

3-4 large russet potatoes
Ice water (for soaking)
Paper towels (for drying)
Oil, for frying (or roasting)
Meat Mitch French Fry Seasoning
1 cup shredded cheese (your favorite melting cheese)
Splash of milk
6-8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
½ cup chopped hatch green chiles (roasted, peeled, and chopped)
1 extra-large tomato sauce can (both ends removed)

Instructions

Prep the fries: cut russet potatoes into thin matchstick fries. Soak them in a bowl of ice water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.
Cook the fries: fry in a deep fryer or heavy pot of hot oil until golden and crispy — or roast in a 450°F oven for about 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Immediately sprinkle generously with Meat Mitch French Fry Seasoning while tossing to coat.
Make the cheese sauce: melt shredded cheese using the double-boiler method (heatproof bowl over simmering water). Add a splash of milk and stir gently until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, melt low and slow in a saucepan, stirring often.
Build the fry tower: place the cleaned tomato sauce can (bottom and top removed) on a serving plate. Inside the can, layer seasoned fries, bacon crumbles, cheese sauce, and chopped hatch chiles. Repeat layers until the can is full, finishing with a generous pour of cheese.
The big reveal: gently lift the can straight up to release your towering masterpiece. Watch as the fries, bacon, chiles, and cheese cascade into a skyscraper of flavor.
✨ Pro Tip: Serve immediately with extra Meat Mitch sauce or seasoning on the side for dipping.
