Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes (peeled and cut into fries)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked bacon (crumbled)
- ¼ cup green onions (sliced)
- 1 cup sour cream
- Optional: Jalapeño slices, ranch dressing, or chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Fries:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into fries. You can choose thick or thin cuts depending on your preference.
- Place the fries on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the fries evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the Toppings:
- While the fries are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel to drain excess fat, then crumble into small pieces.
- Slice the green onions into small rounds.
3. Assemble the Loaded Fries:
- Once the fries are baked and crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fries.
- Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Add Toppings:
- Once the cheese has melted, remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with crumbled bacon and green onions.
- Serve the loaded fries with a side of sour cream for dipping. Optional: Add jalapeño slices for some heat, or drizzle with ranch dressing for extra flavor.
5. Serve:
- Serve your loaded cheese fries with bacon while they’re hot and enjoy!
