Fries

Method

Prepare the Fries

  1. 1

    Cook the French Fries

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Carefully add the frozen French fries in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  2. 2

    Drain and Season

    Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Assemble the Loaded Fries

  1. 3

    Layer the Toppings

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the hot fries on a large baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fries, followed by the crumbled bacon.

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  3. 5

    Drizzle with Ranch and Serve

    Remove the fries from the oven and drizzle ranch dressing on top. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
