Ingredients
- 800 grams frozen french fries
- 200 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 30 grams protein powder (unflavored)
- 150 grams bacon
- 2 whole green onions
- 120 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Step 2
Spread the frozen french fries on a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 3
Sprinkle the fries with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
Step 5
While the fries are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove it from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and then crumble it into small pieces.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the protein powder with sour cream until smooth and set aside.
Step 7
Once the fries are baked, remove them from the oven and distribute the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries.
Step 8
Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the cheesy fries from the oven and evenly distribute the crumbled bacon over the top.
Step 10
Slice the green onions thinly and sprinkle them over the loaded cheese fries.
Step 11
Optionally, drizzle the sour cream protein mixture over the fries or serve it on the side for dipping.
Step 12
Serve immediately, while hot, and enjoy your high protein loaded cheese fries with bacon!
