Y’all, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen like a teenager raiding the fridge! As a born-and-raised Texas gal, I’ve perfected what I like to call my “Lone Star Loaded Sweet Potato Fries” – and honey, they’re absolutely divine!
Picture this: crispy sweet potato fries smothered in smoky pulled brisket (leftovers work perfectly!), drizzled with queso, and topped with jalapeños that’ll wake up your taste buds faster than a rooster at dawn. This isn’t your mama’s regular snack – this is what food dreams are made of!
Here’s what you’ll need, sugar:
– 2 large sweet potatoes
– 1/2 cup leftover brisket (or if you’re like me, you might have some stored just for occasions like this!)
– 1/2 cup queso
– Sliced jalapeños
– Green onions
– Your favorite BBQ sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Oil for frying
Now, let me walk you through this heavenly creation:
1. Cut those sweet potatoes into fries – and don’t you dare make them too thick! We want them crispy, not soggy.
2. Toss them in oil, salt, and pepper (I sometimes add a pinch of cayenne because, why not live a little?)
3. Bake at 425°F for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

While those fries are getting all golden and delicious:
1. Heat up that brisket with a splash of BBQ sauce
2. Warm up your queso until it’s perfectly melty
3. Once the fries are done, layer everything like you’re creating a masterpiece:
– Fries first (obviously!)
– Warm brisket
– Generous queso drizzle (and I mean generous, honey!)
– Jalapeños
– Green onions
– Extra BBQ sauce if you’re feeling saucy (pun intended!)
Let me tell you something – this isn’t just a snack, it’s a whole experience! The sweet and savory combo will have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen at 2 AM, and I won’t judge one bit!
