Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the Oven – Preheat the oven to 425°F degrees and line a baking sheet with aluminium foil to avoid the mess and for easy cleanup.

Extra Tips 

• Make the process simpler by using a bag of frozen fries, but feel free to make on your own if you prefer homemade fries.
• Stirring or shaking the fries in between while cooking helps them bake more evenly and crispy to perfection.

• Instead of fries, you can replace them with tortilla chips to make a nachos version.
• Almost any shredded cheese will work but prefer mixing two kinds of cheese gives the maximum flavour or you can even use homemade cheese sauce.
• Pre-cooked bacon bits save time when planning for this dish. You can pre-bake the bacon over bacon oven racks and use it later to sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits or the bacon chips can be eaten just like that with cheese dip.
