Taco Bell is officially entering the great fry race with its own twist on the classic deep-fried potato.

Starting Jan. 25, the Bell is rolling out Nacho Fries nationwide, which will be served with "bold Mexican seasoning" and a side of warm nacho cheese. So, they're cheese fries -- you really can't go wrong.

The fries will be available a la carte for just $1, but can also be upgraded to the larger sized Supreme for $2.49 or Bell Grande for $3.49, and can be topped off with beef, pico de gallo, nacho cheese, and sour cream.

If you also want to make a meal out of your fries, $5 will get you a box with fries, a Doritos Locos Taco, a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, and a medium drink.

Taco Bell first tested the release of Nacho Fries in West Virginia and Bakersfield, California, last spring, but now they're coming to a Taco Bell near you for real, though the company does note they will be available for a "limited time."

But if they do disappear, Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes are a permanent resident on Taco Bell's menu to fulfill your starchy cravings.
