# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well and set aside.
02 - Follow the instructions on the package to cook the frozen French fries. For best results, deep-fry them at 190°C for 3 to 5 minutes until golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake them according to the package directions.
03 - Once the fries are cooked, place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle the prepared seasoning blend over the fries and toss to ensure even coating.
04 - In a small saucepan over low heat, combine Cheez Whiz, whole milk, jalapeño brine, and ground cayenne pepper. Whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
05 - Arrange the seasoned fries on a serving platter. Serve immediately with the warm nacho cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
