Ingredients
- 28 ounces frozen French fries
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 pieces green onions, chopped
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries packaging (usually 400°F or 200°C).
Step 2
Spread the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for the recommended time until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through cooking (typically 25-30 minutes).
Step 3
While the fries bake, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease, then crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 4
Once the fries are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven. Transfer them to a heatproof serving dish or cast-iron skillet.
Step 5
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the hot fries.
Step 6
Scatter the crumbled bacon across the cheesy fries.
Step 7
Switch your oven to broil mode. Place the fries under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the fries from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions.
Step 9
Serve immediately with sour cream on the side, if desired. Enjoy your Cheesy Bacon Fries!
