Ingredients
- 26 oz frozen french fries (I use thin-cut, but you can use the fries of your choice)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheese (I like cheddar)
- 6 strips crispy cooked bacon
- ⅓ cup diced fresh tomatoes
- 1 jalapeño sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- 2 scallions sliced
- Sour cream drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to french fry package directions (typically 400-450 degrees).
- Spread french fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake a few minutes longer than package states so they're extra crispy (I bake my thin-cut fries at 450 degrees for 20 minutes). Remove from oven and lower oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, cayenne, and pepper over the fries. Toss to coat.
- Transfer half the fries to a cast iron skillet. Top with ¾ cup of shredded cheese and crumble three strips of bacon over fries.
- Add remaining fries to skillet and top with remaining cheese and remaining crumbled bacon. Put skillet in oven for 4-5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and top fries with remaining ingredients: tomatoes, jalapeño, sliced avocado, scallions, sour cream, and any other desired ingredients.
