Prepare the Fries

Fry the Fries
Carefully add the frozen French fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Drain and Season
Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt to taste.
Assembling the Loaded Fries

Layer the Ingredients
On a large serving platter or individual plates, layer the hot fries evenly.

Add Cheese and Bacon
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the fries, followed by the crumbled bacon.

Melt the Cheese
Place the loaded fries under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
