Ingredients
- 32 oz Frozen shoestring French fries
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 tbsp Green onions, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing (for dipping, optional)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the bacon by cooking it in a skillet or baking it in the oven until crispy. Let it cool, then crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
Step 2
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 3
Carefully add the frozen French fries to the hot oil in batches, frying them until they are golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes per batch).
Step 4
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked fries onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Lightly sprinkle them with salt while still hot.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
Spread the cooked fries evenly onto a baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
Step 7
In a bowl, mix the shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses together. Generously sprinkle the cheese mixture over the fries.
Step 8
Top the cheese-covered fries with crumbled bacon.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions, if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately with a side of ranch dressing for dipping, if preferred. Enjoy!
