Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups (960 milliliters) frozen French fries
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Garnish Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Topping:
- Sour cream for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare french fries according to package directions, ensuring they achieve a crisp, golden-brown exterior through baking or frying.
- Transfer hot fries onto a baking sheet, distributing them in a single layer to promote even cheese melting.
- Generously scatter cheddar and mozzarella cheese across the surface of the fries, covering them completely.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C), allowing the cheese to transform into a molten, bubbling layer over the fries, which typically takes approximately 5 minutes.
- Extract the sheet from the oven and liberally distribute crispy, crumbled turkey bacon over the melted cheese.
- Enhance the flavor profile by delicately sprinkling salt and freshly ground black pepper across the loaded fries.
- Provide a fresh, vibrant finish by garnishing with finely chopped green onions and optionally drizzling smooth, tangy sour cream over the top for an additional creamy dimension.
Notes
- Choose thick-cut fries for maximum cheese and bacon coverage, ensuring a crispy base that holds toppings well.
- Microwave turkey bacon briefly before crumbling to enhance its crispiness and make it easier to break into smaller pieces.
- Pat the fries dry before adding cheese to prevent soggy texture and help cheese melt more evenly.
- For a lighter version, swap regular fries with sweet potato or air-fryer fries and use reduced-fat cheese to cut calories without sacrificing flavor.
