Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Optional: pickled jalapeños for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries. Place in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; toss to coat.
- Spread fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Remove fries from oven, sprinkle cheese evenly over the top, and return to oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Top with crumbled bacon, sour cream, green onions, and jalapeños if using. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra crispy fries, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before tossing with oil.
- Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to allow air circulation for crispier fries.
- Leftover loaded fries can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.
