Ingredients

1 26 ounce bag frozen french fries
8 slices bacon chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced green onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Ranch dressing for serving optional

Instructions

Bake french fries according to package directions until golden brown and crispy.
While fries are baking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon to paper towel-lined plate.
Remove fries from oven and sprinkle with garlic salt.
Top hot fries with shredded cheese and return to oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts.
Remove from oven and top with crispy bacon, green onions and ranch, if desired.

Notes

Pro Tip:

For extra crispiness, bake the fries on a large baking sheet and flip halfway through cooking.

Note: I used Ore Ida Extra crispy fast food French fries, but feel free to use your favorite fries.
