Equipment

  • Baking sheet or deep fryer
  • Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Paper Towels

Ingredients
  

Fries

  • 2 cups frozen fries regular or crinkle-cut

Tapioca Pearls

  • 0.5 cup tapioca pearls

Glaze

  • 0.25 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

Optional Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons cheese sauce optional
  • chili powder or paprika optional
  • chopped green onions optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the frozen fries according to package instructions, either by baking at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes or frying at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown and crispy. Place the fries on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  • In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 15–20 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Stir in the condensed milk and cook for an additional minute.
  • Place the cooked fries in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the glaze over the fries and toss to coat evenly.
  • Transfer the glazed fries to a serving platter. Evenly distribute the tapioca pearls over the top.
  • Optional: Drizzle with cheese sauce and sprinkle with chili powder, paprika, or chopped green onions for added flavor.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute butter with plant-based margarine and use coconut condensed milk. These fries are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated.
