Whether you're hosting a game day party or craving a decadent treat, these fully loaded fries are sure to be a hit. Ready in under an hour, this easy recipe packs all the flavor of your favorite loaded baked potato into deliciously golden fries.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thin fries about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the fries evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer to ensure even crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, cook the bacon until crisp and crumble it into small pieces. Thinly slice the scallions and set them aside.
Once the fries are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the fries.
Return the fries to the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the fries from the oven and top them with the crumbled bacon and sliced scallions.
Drizzle the sour cream over the fries (you can use a piping bag or spoon for better control).
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your loaded potato fries!
