Ingredients

• 1 pound Frozen French fries
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 pieces Frozen onion rings
• 4 pieces Bacon strips
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pot to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Fry the frozen French fries in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately season with salt, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

While the fries are cooking, bake or air-fry the frozen onion rings according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.

Step 4

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble into small pieces once cooled.

Step 5

Preheat your oven or broiler. Arrange the fried French fries on a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 6

Drizzle the barbecue sauce evenly over the fries, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 7

Layer the cooked onion rings and crumbled bacon over the fries and cheese.

Step 8

Place the platter in the oven or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
