Making Taco Bell Nacho Fries at Home | But Better

These aren’t just homemade French fries with cheese sauce. And yes we did a "Bell Grande" version too, don't you worry.

I’ve recently been making a lot of this man’s recipes for my family and now they think I should change careers.

As a Canadian living in the US, I was honestly surprised about the excitement when these nacho fries dropped. They’ve been on the menu in Canadian Taco Bells for as long as I can remember — at least 30 years — and I just assumed that the US had them as well.

Why does Taco Bell keep taking this off the menu!? I need to learn this as a failsafe route. Thank you!

Hot Take: Taco Bell's nacho fries are actually really good. Yeah, anything you make at home if you're a professional chef is gonna be better, but for us regular folk, Taco Bell kinda kills it with the nacho fries.

I think it's the sweetness in the fry seasoning that makes these so good in my opinion. The fries with a slight sweetness alone tastes a bit weird, as would the super salty canned cheese sauce on its own. But that sweet and salty together is just completely addictive!

Taco Bell actually did do a Nacho Fries Bell Grande version when they first released the nacho fries back in 2018, and still offer it at some locations, mainly the stand-alone restaurants. The combo restaurants almost always have a pared-down menu simply due to storage constraints. You're...not really missing much. It's better than the regular Nachos Bell Grande because fries instead of stale soggy mushy chips, but still.

I would love something like a “but healthy” series. Healthy is subjective but turning extremely calorie dense foods healthier while still being tasty, would be sweet!!

I really liked hearing Stepano (Stefano? Stephano?)'s description of the differences in this episode. He described stuff more vividly and in a bit more detail than some of the other crew when they do the taste test. Hope to hear him do more!

Nacho Fries are glorious and should be on the menu permanently

I have to say, it depends on the Taco Bell, however there is a reason everyone loves them. Get them when they are fresh and crispy, they are unmatched. Super good

Honestly I really like that hint of sweetness in the seasoning, and I'm definitely one of the people hyped by the return of the Nacho Fries. But I guess it's not for everyone.

As someone who's made thousands of these and is just tired of them I appreciated the refreshing take on them. Seriously its just drop these frozen fries in a frier we barely clean and after splash them with seasoning. That's it. I was the only one to even use a flipping technique to evenly coat the fries. I've always wanted to work in a restaurant and learn to be a real chef and working there because of need felt suffocating and these were the worst things. Ive made homemade fries before and Taco Bell is just lazy.

Just an edit: I have since this post found a job I absolutely love where I can cook in a big kitchen and I help kids in rehab now. I'm so happy and a couple comments here really gave me motivation to try and get my shit together. It's only been 6 or 7 months since I started here but every day is a lesson.

I still say that there's no beating the [Double] Western Bacon Cheese Burger from Carl's Jr./Hardee's, but I'd love to see you try.

I like how popular chefs love to hate on popular foods instead of letting them co-exist

I'm pretty sure I binge-watched at least 5 of this guy's videos over the course of Ramadan lmao the food he makes effortlessly waters my mouth 👀

I’ve never had a Taco Bell before. I’m on vacation this July in the U.S, so I’m going to try one! Your channel never fails to inspire me to improve my own. Thanks Josh, from a fellow foodie in the U.K 🙋🏻‍♂️

At this point they should just use my mans recipes at the chains

[cartagenamariel]

I'm gonna insist with two things... Takeout Egg Rolls I would love to see your take on Empanadas.

[CarrieArt]

Wow, he really elevated with all those toppings.

My husband bought these fries the other day and I was furious at the wasted money…until I tried them. SO fluffy and good! Sadly, Taco Bell isn’t consistent, as most fast food chains are especially with random menu items. So I’m definitely going to whip this recipe out next time we want them!
