CHEESE BACON FRENCH FRIES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 425°F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet or large cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. 2. Spread out crinkle-cut french fries in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. 3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until crispy and golden brown. 4. Sprinkle the fries evenly with cheese. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. 5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the bacon. 6. Drizzle with the sour cream or ranch dressing, then sprinkle with the sliced green onions. 7. Serve immediately with ketchup on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spread French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden and crisp, 24 to 34 minutes.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat; cook and stir until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, reserving some of the bacon grease in the skillet. Slice into 1/4-inch strips.
• Stir butter into the bacon grease and set skillet over medium heat; add scallions and garlic. Cook and stir until scallions are soft and browning, about 5 minutes. Add blue cheese; cook and stir with a spatula until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in half-and-half until sauce is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 2 minutes.
• Arrange fries on a plate and drizzle sauce over fries. Sprinkle bacon strips on top.
