Y’all, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that’ll make your taste buds do the Texas two-step! As someone who’s spent countless nights craving something deliciously sinful, I’ve perfected what I call the “Lone Star Loaded Sweet Potato Fries.” Trust me, honey, this isn’t your regular ol’ snack – it’s a game-changer!
Here’s what you’ll need (and don’t you dare skimp on the ingredients!):
– 2 large sweet potatoes
– 1 cup shredded brisket (leftover from your Sunday BBQ, obviously!)
– 1/2 cup queso fresco
– Jalapeños (as many as you can handle, sugar!)
– BBQ sauce
– Ranch dressing
– Green onions
– Salt and pepper to taste
Now, let me walk you through this heavenly creation:
1. First things first, slice those sweet potatoes into fry-sized pieces. I like mine a bit thick – none of that shoestring nonsense!
1. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pop them in your air fryer at 400°F for about 15 minutes, shaking halfway through. Don’t have an air fryer? Bake them in the oven at 425°F for 25-30 minutes.
Speaking of air fryers, if y’all are loving these kinds of quick and delicious recipes, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily recipe inspiration! I’ve got so many more treats up my sleeve that’ll make your midnight cravings worthwhile! 😉
1. While your fries are getting all crispy and beautiful, warm up that brisket in a skillet. If you’re using leftover brisket that’s a bit dry, add a splash of beef broth – works like a charm!
1. Once your fries are done (golden brown and crispy), layer them on a plate and top with that warm brisket. Drizzle with BBQ sauce (I won’t judge if you go heavy-handed here).
1. Now for the fun part! Sprinkle that queso fresco all over, add your jalapeños, drizzle with ranch, and finish with a sprinkle of green onions.
Y’all, when I tell you this hits different at midnight – I mean it! The sweet and savory combo with that kick of heat is absolutely everything. It’s like a flavor fiesta in your mouth!
Pro tip: If you’re feeling extra naughty, add a fried egg on top. That runny yolk takes this whole situation to another level of deliciousness!
