Loaded Fries

Ingredients

• •2 pounds russet potatoes
• •2 cups vegetable oil for frying
• •8 slices bacon
• •2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• •1/2 cup sour cream
• •2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. 1Cut potatoes into thin fries and soak in cold water for 15 minutes, then pat dry.
2. 2Heat oil to 350°F in a deep skillet and fry potatoes in batches for 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy, drain on paper towels.
3. 3Cook bacon in a separate skillet until crispy, then crumble into bite-sized pieces.
4. 4Place hot fries on a serving platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then top with shredded cheese.
5. 5Microwave the topped fries for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted, then drizzle with sour cream.
6. 6Garnish with crumbled bacon and fresh chives, then serve immediately.

💡 Loaded fries need twice-cooked or very crisp potatoes before toppings go on; cheese and bacon add moisture that quickly softens a weak fry.
