Ingredients

Scale

Fries

  • Frozen Fries (enough for 4 servings, about 16 oz or 450 g)

Cheese

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup bacon bits, crispy
  • 2 green onions, freshly chopped
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Jalapeños, sliced (optional, to taste)

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Bake or fry the frozen fries according to the package instructions or your preferred homemade method. Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet to ensure they become extra crispy. While still warm, season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
  2. Add the Cheese: Evenly sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the hot fries. Return the tray to the oven or place under a broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts into a gooey, melty layer.
  3. Layer on Toppings: Scatter crispy bacon bits and freshly chopped green onions across the cheesy fries. Add sliced jalapeños if using for an optional spicy kick. These toppings add crunch, flavor, and visual appeal.
  4. Finish with Cool Creaminess: After removing from the oven, dollop sour cream evenly across the top of the loaded cheese fries. This cool, creamy topping balances the richness and adds a refreshing tang to every bite.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut fries to hold toppings better and maintain crispiness.
  • If making fries from fresh potatoes, dry them thoroughly before cooking to avoid sogginess.
  • Be generous with cheese for the best gooey texture.
  • Add bacon and delicate toppings after melting the cheese to keep them crispy.
  • Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
