# Ingredients:

01 - 4 large russet potatoes
02 - 2 cups frozen French fries
03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

02 - Spread frozen French fries on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
03 - While fries are baking, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into pieces.
04 - Once fries are done, transfer them to a large serving platter. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
05 - Drizzle BBQ sauce over the cheese and bacon, then return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

# Tips:

01 - For extra crispy fries, you can bake the fries longer than the suggested time or even double-cook them for a crunchier texture.
02 - Feel free to swap out cheddar cheese for another type of cheese like mozzarella or pepper jack for a different twist.
03 - If you prefer, you can prepare the bacon in advance and store it for later use.
