Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 6 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 cup Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to resemble French fries.
Spread the potato strips evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the fries, ensuring even coating.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble once slightly cooled.
Chop the green onions into thin slices and set aside.
Remove the fries from the oven, sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries while they're still on the baking sheet, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Remove the fries from the oven, transfer them to a serving platter, and sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon and chopped green onions on top.
Serve the loaded cheese fries with a side of fat-free Greek yogurt for dipping.
