Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0 Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 6 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 cup Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble French fries.
Step 3
Spread the potato strips evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fries, ensuring even coating.
Step 5
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the fries are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble once slightly cooled.
Step 7
Chop the green onions into thin slices and set aside.
Step 8
Remove the fries from the oven, sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries while they're still on the baking sheet, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Remove the fries from the oven, transfer them to a serving platter, and sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon and chopped green onions on top.
Step 10
Serve the loaded cheese fries with a side of fat-free Greek yogurt for dipping.
