Baked fries with melted cheese, crumbled turkey bacon, green onions, and parsley for a flavorful bite.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into fries
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Cheese & Toppings

07 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
08 - 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
09 - 6 strips turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
10 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
11 - 1/4 cup sour cream
12 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
04 - While the fries are baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then crumble.
05 - Once fries are done, sprinkle cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the hot fries. Scatter the crumbled turkey bacon on top.
06 - Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove from oven. Top with green onions and parsley. Serve hot with sour cream on the side.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of crispy oven baked fries and melted cheese creates that perfect crowd pleasing comfort food that everyone reaches for first
  • Turkey bacon keeps things lighter without sacrificing any of that savory smoky crunch that makes loaded fries so addictive
02 -
  • Never skip flipping the fries halfway through baking because the bottom ones will steam instead of crisp up properly
  • Letting the turkey bacon get extra crispy before crumbling is crucial since it softens slightly under the hot cheese
03 -
  • Space the fries out on the baking sheet rather than crowding them for the crispiest results
  • Grate your own cheese from blocks for that restaurant quality melt that coats every fry perfectly
