Bacon Cheese Fries

March 26, 2013 12 Comments

Guys, am I crazy or is it supposed to be spring already? You know…longer days, more sunshine, budding flowers, chirping birds…warmer weather? Yes? So why the hell is it snowing! Why is there slush on the ground! Where are my frickin’ spring flowers! TELL ME.

Obviously, I’m a little upset about the weather. And, obviously the only way to deal with snow in almost-April is to get huffy and make bacon cheese fries for dinner. I am a firm believer that there is no problem a pile of crispy fries smothered in melted cheese and crunchy bacon bits can’t solve.

And guys? These fries were fabulous. I served them piping hot with three different dipping sauces, and between all the gooey cheese, the salty/crunchy bacon, and the crispy fried potatoes, all my weather woes melted away. Dan and I inhaled this plate in record time, then immediately made another batch. Self control – we’ve got it.

Happy Monday, everyone!

Bacon Cheese Fries
Author: Tina @ Just Putzing
Recipe type: Snacks, Appetizer
 
Ingredients
  • ½ package frozen, store-bought french fries (I used Ore Ida)
  • ½ cup grated Pepper Jack cheese
  • ½ cup grated Colby Jack cheese
  • 2 strips bacon
  • Green onions, for garnish (optional)
Directions
  1. In a frying pan or skillet, cook bacon strips until crispy. Allow to drain on paper towels, then crumble or chop into small pieces. Set aside.
  2. Cook frozen french fries according to the package instructions. Scoop fries onto an oven-safe plate.
  3. Layer grated cheese and bacon bits over the top of your cooked fries.
  4. Set oven to low broil.
  5. Stick cheese/bacon-covered fries back in the oven for about 1 minute, or until cheese is completely melted.
  6. Garnish with some chopped green onion.
  7. Enjoy immediately, with lots of ketchup and blue cheese dressing.
Notes
These would obviously be better with fresh cut, homemade potatoes, but I was in a hurry. And there's no such thing as a bad french fry.

    How do you get your frozen fries to come out of the oven not soggy and greasy?! Somehow, I can never get them anywhere near crispy! Thanks!!

      Hmm, I just followed the instructions on the package, but I would definitely recommend spacing the fries apart as well as you can to avoid touching/overlap. Also, don’t grease your baking sheet/pan/whatever. Hope that helps!

    Hello,

    I saw your recipe for bacon cheesefries they look great.
    We are having bcf for dinner tonight with my daughter’s husband and in-laws who are visiting from Norway. I don’t think they have ever had them.
    I publish a magazine here in NE Alabama that is distributed into seven counties and a readership close to 500,000.
    Would you be interested in writing a blog and featuring your recipes?

    The magazine is Hometown Parent we publish in Anniston, Al.
    My name is Danny Freeman we also publish Alabama College and Career Guide for all high schools in the state.

      Hi Danny! Thanks for your comment! I’d be happy to contribute a blog post or recipe to your magazine some time, but I would not be able to commit to any sort of regular/repeated contribution. Feel free to email me at justputzing@gmail.com if you want to discuss further 🙂

      Not sure how big of a serving you’re thinking, but this was enough for me and my husband to share.
