Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 1 bag (28 oz) frozen seasoned French fries
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the frozen fries evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the fries, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to season.
- Bake fries: Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
- Add cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven once fries are crispy. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the hot fries.
- Melt cheese: Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheeses to melt thoroughly and become bubbly.
- Finish and serve: Remove the fries from the oven and top with crumbled bacon, dollops of sour cream, and chopped green onions. Serve immediately while the fries are hot, cheesy, and loaded with flavor.
Notes
- For an extra kick of flavor, try adding jalapeño slices or drizzling ranch dressing over the top.
- You can swap out the bacon for crumbled sausage or shredded chicken to vary the toppings.
