Crispers chilli cheese-loaded fries

Crispers Chilli Cheese Fries are perfect for a quick snack, a light meal, or something tasty to put on the table when guests come around..

Crispers, with their ridged cut, hold on to toppings in the best way possible. They’re crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and sturdy enough to carry all that chilli and cheese without going soggy too quickly. Every bite has texture, making them perfect for piling high with flavour. Recipe compliments of McCain.
