Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 bag frozen french fries (32 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup Colby Jack cheese (shredded)
  • ½ cup bacon, cooked and crumbled (6 slices)
  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • ¼ cup sour cream (or ketchup)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Mix garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Spread frozen fries on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Spray fries lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with a small amount of oil.
  • Sprinkle seasoning mix evenly over the fries.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, turning once halfway through. Bake longer if fries are not crispy.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with both cheeses, and add the crumbled bacon on top. Return to the oven for 3-5 more minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bacon is warmed through.
  • Top with green onions and dip in your choice of sour cream, ranch dressing or ketchup.

Notes

Storing Leftovers
  • Separate Toppings: To avoid sogginess, separate the toppings. Keep the cheese, bacon, and other toppings in separate airtight containers or bags in the fridge.
  • Reheat: For the best results, reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer to bring back some crispiness. Preheat your oven to 400°F and bake fries for about 10-15 minutes, or until they’re hot and crispy again. If you’re using an air fryer, do the same at 350°F for a shorter time.
  • Add Fresh Toppings: After reheating, consider adding fresh toppings like a bit more cheese or fresh chives to give them a just-cooked taste.
Enjoy leftovers within 1 to 2 days for best results. Freezing is not recommended.
