Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Frozen Fries – 1 bag (about 16 oz), your favorite cut
  • Cheddar Cheese – 1 ½ cups shredded
  • Bacon Bits – 4 slices cooked and crumbled
  • Green Onions – 2 stalks, sliced
  • Jalapeños – 1 small, sliced (optional)
  • Sour Cream – ½ cup
  • Salt – to taste
  • Pepper – to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Diced Tomatoes – ¼ cup
  • Black Olives – ¼ cup sliced
  • Guacamole – ¼ cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Cook the frozen fries according to the package instructions or your preferred method. Bake or air-fry them until golden and crispy, forming the perfect base for your loaded cheese fries.
  2. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries while they are still warm, allowing the cheese to melt perfectly.
  3. Cook the Bacon: While the cheese melts, cook the bacon slices until crispy, then crumble into bite-sized pieces ready to be sprinkled on top.
  4. Layer the Toppings: Once the cheese is melted, add the crispy bacon bits, sliced jalapeños, and chopped green onions evenly across the fries to add vibrant color and flavor.
  5. Add the Finishing Touches: Top everything off with dollops of sour cream and an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy the cheesy, crispy goodness.

Notes

  • Choose thick-cut fries to better hold toppings and maintain crispiness.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for smoother melting and better flavor.
  • Balance toppings to prevent sogginess and maintain crunch.
  • Prepare toppings ahead for quick assembly after cooking fries.
  • Serve fries hot or on a warm dish to keep them crispy under the cheese.
