Directions
- 1
Fry the potatoes in hot oil until deeply golden and crispy all over. Drain thoroughly on kitchen paper, then spread them in a large serving dish.
- 2
Season lightly with salt straight away while they're still hot.
- 3
In a dry skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo and bacon until golden and slightly crispy. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside.
- 4
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese, grated cheese, mozzarella and milk. Stir continuously with a spatula until everything has melted into a smooth, lump-free sauce.
- 5
Pour the warm cheese sauce generously all over the fries, covering as much surface as possible.
- 6
Scatter the chorizo and bacon on top, then finish with a handful of freshly chopped parsley and chives. Serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
Cut your cheeses into small chunks before melting — they'll blend into a smoother sauce faster. For extra depth, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the cheese mixture.
