Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds french fries
  • 1 cup colby jack cheese (shredded)
  • 4 ounces bacon (cooked crisp)
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instruction

  • Divide the bag of fries in half and use the other half later.
  • Heat oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a thermometer, make sure the oil is hot enough so that when you set a French fry in the oil, it will cook immediately. If the French fry sinks to the bottom and barely bubbles, it is not hot enough.
  • Fry the potatoes in small batches. They are done when they are golden brown and float to the top. (I like to use a Dutch oven). Be sure to drain the potatoes on paper towels. You can keep them warm in the oven while the other fries cooking.
  • When all French fries are cooked and drained, place them on a platter.
  • Salt the French fries if you like and sprinkle on cheese and cooked bacon.
  • Pop these back into a warm oven until the cheese begins to melt.
