Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen french fries or about 4 medium potatoes, if using fresh fries
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 3 green onions chopped, greens and whites separated
- 20-25 slices of pickled jalapeno peppers
- 3 strips of bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup ranch for drizzling on top or as a dipping sauce optional
Instructions
- Cook the frozen fries according to the directions on the packaging.
- Remove the fries, then turn the oven broiler on.
- Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and top evenly with the cheddar cheese, bacon crumbles, jalapenos, and the whites of the green onion.
- Broil the fries until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven and top with the remaining part of the green onion and drizzle with ranch, if desired.
Notes
- Use lots and lots of cheese as some will drop between each fry too.
- Add extra bacon. Because everything is better with more bacon.
- Keep an eye on the broiler to keep the fries from burning as it cooks fast.
- These can be made with curly fries, steak fries, and even waffles fries.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers on a sheet pan under the broiler for about 4-5 minutes, keeping a close eye on them as they cook.
