Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes. Leave the skins on for extra texture, or peel them if preferred.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized fries, about 1/4-inch thick, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until they are evenly coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top while the fries are still hot. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
After removing from the oven, sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions evenly over the cheesy fries.
Serve immediately with a side of sour cream for dipping, if desired. Enjoy your homemade cheese fries!
