Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes. Leave the skins on for extra texture, or peel them if preferred.
Step 3
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Toss the fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them for even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top while the fries are still hot. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
After removing from the oven, sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions evenly over the cheesy fries.
Step 9
Serve immediately with a side of sour cream for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your homemade cheese fries!
