    For our Diablo Loaded Fries, we picked two types of potatoes: McCain Craft Beer Battered Thin Cut Fries and McCain Seasoned Curly Fries. McCain is the world's largest manufacturer of frozen potatoes, and they use real potatoes in all of their products. Plus, these frozen fries use no artificial colors or flavors.

    Diablo Skillet Loaded Fries are made with McCain Craft Beer Battered Potatoes and Seasoned Curly Fries for the ultimate tailgate + party snack idea.

    Ingredients Needed for Loaded Fries:

    • McCain Fries (two bags, any variety)
    • Pepper jack cheese
    • Bacon
    • Green onions
    • Pickled jalapenos (tame or hot)
    • Mayonnaise
    • Chili sauce (the ketchup-type)
    • Sriracha
    • Mustard
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Spices + seasonings (cayenne, black pepper + more!)

    I like to have all of my ingredients measured and chopped and ready to go before starting. This makes this game day recipe so easy to throw together while watching the big game. Get the complete list of ingredients and instructions at the bottom of this post.

    TIP: Make the spicy diablo sauce ahead of time because this gives the flavors time to meld.

    How to Make Diablo Skillet Loaded Fries:

    1. First, make the diablo sauce by stirring together the mayo, chili sauce, Sriracha, mustard, Worcestershire, cayenne, and all other spices. Stir well and set aside.
    2. Preheat your oven to package directions on the back of the fries. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheets and cook until done. (See package.)
    3. Then, transfer the crispy fries to 2 heated skillets. Sprinkle shredded cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the top of each fry-filled skillet.
    4. Next, place the skillets in the oven for 4 - 6 minutes until the cheese is melted through.
    5. Finally, top the loaded fries with a generous amount of the diablo sauce, jalapenos, and green onions. Serve with sour cream and additional Sriracha if desired.

    The tangy homemade fry sauce is the perfect topping to wow your guests. Not sure if they will be more excited about the big game, or the big skillet of loaded fries you just served. Either way, everyone wins.

    Topped with a spicy homemade "diablo" sauce, pepper jack cheese, and jalapenos, these loaded French fries are craveable.

    Gathering friends around the tv to catch the game is my kind of fun. Diablo Skillet Loaded Fries are my kind of food. I love the fact that it is so easy to make. Plus, it is easy to change up the recipe based on the toppings you have on hand.

    You can also serve these spicy loaded fries in individual cardboard trays. I like using the skillet for easy clean up. Just place it in the center of the table and let everyone jump right in.

    The crisp craft beer battered fries are off-the-charts good dipped in the diablo sauce. The batter helps the fries stay crisp longer, which makes them the perfect fry to load up with toppings. Curly fries are always a hit, too.

    If you want the diablo loaded fries SUPER hot, add more Sriracha and use hot pickled jalapenos. Want it milder? Skip the extra hot sauce and use tame jalapenos instead. You can also turn up the heat by using more or less cayenne in the homemade sauce.

    Instructions
     

    For the Diablo Sauce

    • In a small bowl, stir together the mayo, chili sauce, Sriracha, mustard, Worcestershire, cayenne, and all other spices. Stir well and set aside. I like to transfer it to a squirt bottle for easy serving.

    For the Loaded Fries

    • Preheat your oven to package directions on the back of the fries. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheets and cook until done. (See package.)
      During the last half of cooking, place two cast iron skillets in the oven on the bottom rack so they can heat.
    • When the fries are done, transfer the crispy fries to 2 heated skillets. Sprinkle shredded cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the top of each fry-filled skillet.
      Next, place the skillets in the oven for 4 – 6 minutes until the cheese is melted through.
    • Finally, top the loaded fries with a generous amount of the diablo sauce, jalapenos, and green onions. Serve with sour cream and additional Sriracha if desired.

    Notes

    A serving size is about 4 ounces of french fries plus toppings. Due to wide variation of toppings and snacking, nutrition value is approximate.
    Any leftover Diablo sauce can be covered and stored in the refrigerator. It will keep for about 1 week.
