Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz Frozen French fries
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Bacon
- 0.5 cup Ranch dressing
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C).
While the oil heats, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, pat it dry with paper towels, and crumble it into small pieces. Set aside.
Once the oil is hot, carefully fry the frozen French fries in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove the fries using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Spread the fried French fries evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the fries, ensuring even coverage.
Scatter the crumbled bacon pieces over the cheese-covered fries.
Preheat your oven's broiler on high. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling. Keep a close eye on the fries to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the Aussie Fries to a serving platter and serve immediately with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
