Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb frozen French fries
- 1 cup cheddar cheese sauce
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- as needed olive oil or cooking spray
- as needed fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare Fries: Spread the frozen French fries on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake Fries: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip halfway through cooking.
- Prepare Cheese Sauce: While the fries are baking, warm the cheddar cheese sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Cook Bacon: If not already done, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cool.
- Assemble Fries: Once fries are done, remove them from the oven. Transfer to a serving platter or keep on the baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: Pour the warm cheese sauce over the fries. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake Again: Return the fries to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish with Bacon: Remove from the oven and top with crumbled bacon.
- Garnish: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the fries in cold water for about 30 minutes, then pat them dry before baking.
- Feel free to customize with additional toppings like jalapeños, onions, or sour cream.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavor profiles, such as mozzarella or pepper jack.
