  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Spread the 4 cups of frozen french fries on the baking sheet and bake according to package directions until crispy and lightly golden, about 15–20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Whisk in 0.5 cup milk and heat until warm.

  5. 5

    Gradually add 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth to form a cheese sauce.

  6. 6

    Season the cheese sauce with 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and 0.125 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.

  7. 7

    Assemble and serve

    When fries are crispy, drizzle or pour the cheese sauce over the fries and toss to coat.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle 1 cup crispy bacon bits over the cheese-coated fries.

  9. 9

    Garnish with 0.25 cup sliced green onions and serve immediately.
