Three cheers for the ultimate kid food! They're crunchy, dippable, and totally yummy. Here, three ways to transform them (just for fun!) into a crowd-wowing dinner, a sweet snack, and a super-cheesy side.

TASTY TACOS

Fill warm flour or corn tortillas with refried beans, prepared fries, corn, and shredded cheese. Top with fresh lime juice, salsa, and/or sour cream. You can also try them burrito-style!

CHEESY WAFFLE FRIES

Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low. Whisk in 1 tablespoon flour for 1 minute. Whisk in 3/4 cup whole milk, bring to a simmer, and stir in 4 ounces shredded cheddar. Drizzle over fries to serve!

CINNAMON-SUGAR SWEET POTATO FRIES

Immediately after sweet potato fries come out of the oven, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Serve warm with vanilla yogurt for dunking.
