Bacon-Cheese Fries

 

  These fries are so good. They are cheesy and bacony and so very, very yummy.

You will need a deep fryer or deep pan filled with oil.

Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.

Ingredients:

3 unpeeled medium size russet potatoes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Clean the potatoes, but don't peel. Slice them into thick fries. You should get 12-15 slices per potato. Maybe more, if you have bigger potatoes.

Fry the fries in the hot oil. To make sure they get crisp, you fry them for about a minute and remove from oil and drain. Let cool for about 10 minutes. Now, fry them in the oil for another 5 minutes. They will be a light golden brown color.

Drain them.

Put them on a baking sheet.

Sprinkle the cheese and bacon bits over the fries.

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Serve with ranch dressing if you like.

This will feed about 4 as an appetizer. If you want to make more just slice up an extra potato, cook and extra slice of bacon, and add a little more cheese.

So good!
