Ingredients
For the Fries:
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into thin strips (or 1 bag of store-bought frozen fries)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (if using fresh potatoes)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Toppings:
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
- ½ cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- ¼ cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
Optional Add-ins:
- Jalapeños, sliced (for heat)
- Diced tomatoes
- Guacamole or salsa
Instructions
Prepare the Fries:
- If using fresh potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- If using frozen fries: Follow the package instructions to bake until crispy.
Cook the Bacon:
2. While the fries are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.
Assemble the Loaded Fries:
3. Once the fries are crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add the Toppings:
4. Remove the fries from the oven and top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onions. Serve immediately with a side of sour cream for dipping, or drizzle the sour cream over the top. Add optional toppings like jalapeños, diced tomatoes, or guacamole if desired.
