Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Frozen French fries
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 pieces Frozen onion rings
- 4 pieces Bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pot to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the frozen French fries in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately season with salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
While the fries are cooking, bake or air-fry the frozen onion rings according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble into small pieces once cooled.
Preheat your oven or broiler. Arrange the fried French fries on a large oven-safe plate or baking sheet in an even layer.
Drizzle the barbecue sauce evenly over the fries, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Layer the cooked onion rings and crumbled bacon over the fries and cheese.
Place the platter in the oven or under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
