Here’s a loaded Cheesy Bacon Fries recipe—crispy, gooey, and utterly addictive 🍟🧀🥓
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)

- 2–3 green onions, sliced (optional)
- Sour cream or ranch for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Fries

- If making homemade fries: toss potato sticks with olive oil, salt, and pepper; bake at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Assemble the Loaded Fries
- Place cooked fries on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the fries.
- Add crumbled bacon on top.

- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5–7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips & Variations
- Extra cheesy: Mix cheddar with mozzarella for gooeyness.
- Spicy twist: Add jalapeño slices or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- BBQ flavor: Toss fries in BBQ sauce before adding cheese and bacon.
- Crispier bacon: Cook bacon in the oven separately to ensure it stays crunchy.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan stovetop version that’s faster and super melty—perfect for game nights.
Do you want me to provide that version?
