Ingredients
– 32 ounces (about 8 cups) frozen french fries
– 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 3 tablespoons cooked and crumbled bacon or bacon bits
– 1 cup brown gravy (optional)
– ½ cup sour cream
– 2 green onions thinly sliced
– plant-based cheese shreds
– vegan bacon substitutes
– fresh potato wedges
– reduced-fat cheese
– fat-free sour cream
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 425°F and spread the 32 ounces of frozen french fries in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet for even crisping.
2-Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to make sure they cook uniformly and turn golden.
3-After baking, set the oven to broil at 500°F, then remove the fries and sprinkle them with 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 3 tablespoons of cooked bacon.
4-Broil for 1-3 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
5-Top with 2 thinly sliced green onions, drizzle with 1 cup of brown gravy if desired, and serve immediately with ½ cup of sour cream.

🔥 For extra crispy fries, use an air fryer at 390°F for 10-14 minutes instead of baking, then add toppings and broil briefly
🧀 Layer the cheese evenly and don’t overload it – too much cheese can make the fries soggy instead of crispy
⏰ Serve immediately after topping – loaded cheese fries are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the oven for maximum crunch and melty goodness
