Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen french fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Spread the frozen french fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the fries with olive oil and toss to coat.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this spice mixture evenly over the fries to ensure every piece is coated for maximum flavor.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Once the fries are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the hot fries and return them to the oven for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Take the fries out of the oven and transfer them to a large serving plate or platter. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions evenly over the cheesy fries.
Serve the fries immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping or drizzling.
