Cook: 20 mins

Total: 20 mins

Serves:

Ingredients

32 oz french fries, (1 package), crinkle cut, frozen
1 cup colby-jack cheese, shredded
4 oz bacon, cooked and cut into bits
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

Heat the oven to 380 degrees F.
In a deep heavy skillet, preheat oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the french fries in small batches until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
Pile them on an oven-safe platter. Season the french fries with salt and pepper, then sprinkle shredded cheese and bacon bits on top.
Place the platter in the oven and bake for 1 to 2 minutes or until the cheese begins to melt.
Serve with a ranch dressing on the side and garnish with chop parsley. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Make sure that the oil is hot enough before you put the French fries on the skillet so they will cook immediately. If you don’t have a thermometer, you will know that the oil is hot enough if it starts to bubble steadily.
For added flavors, you can also throw in some garlic powder or ground thyme onto the fried potatoes before placing them in the oven.
