Fries

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Frying the Fries

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Cooking the Fries

    Carefully add the frozen French fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Draining the Fries

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Assembling the Loaded Fries

  1. 4

    Layering the Cheese

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, spread the fried fries in an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the fries.

  2. 5

    Adding the Toppings

    Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions over the cheese-covered fries. If desired, add sliced jalapeños for extra spice.

  3. 6

    Baking

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

  4. 7

    Serving

    Remove from the oven and drizzle sour cream over the top. Serve immediately while hot.
