Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 can olive oil cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 1 cup, shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Leave the skins on for extra fiber and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the potato slices evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they're not overlapping to achieve maximum crispiness.
Spray the fries generously with olive oil cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the fries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, cook the turkey bacon according to package instructions, then chop it into small pieces.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Top the cheesy fries with the chopped turkey bacon and green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Low Fat Bacon Cheese Fries!
