Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- Ranch dressing for drizzling
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse and cut the potatoes into fry shapes, then soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Fry the Potatoes: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Load the Fries: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the fries on a baking sheet, and sprinkle them evenly with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the loaded fries from the oven, and top with sliced green onions and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Serve hot and enjoy!
