Ingredients

Cheese

Cheese is non-negotiable. Go for:

Cheddar: Sharp, melty, and classic.
Mozzarella: For that Insta-worthy cheese pull.
Queso: A creamy, spicy dream.
Blue Cheese: Bold and tangy, especially if you’re adding buffalo chicken.

Proteins

Adding some protein makes your fries more filling:

Bacon: Crispy bits of heaven.
Ground Beef: Perfect for taco-style fries.
Shredded Chicken: Especially tasty with BBQ or buffalo sauce.
Pulled Pork: Smoky, tender, and a total game-changer.

Veggies

Balance out the richness with fresh or roasted veggies:

Jalapeños: For a spicy kick.
Diced Tomatoes: Adds freshness.
Onions: Sautéed, crispy, or raw—your call!
Avocado: Creamy and delicious.

Sauces

Drizzle, dollop, or drown your fries in sauce:

Ranch: Because ranch makes everything better.
Sriracha Mayo: Spicy, creamy goodness.
BBQ Sauce: Sweet and tangy, great with meats.
Chipotle Aioli: Smoky and fancy (but not really).

Instructions

1: Pick Your Fries

Bake, fry, or air-fry your chosen base until they’re crispy. Pro tip: Overcook them slightly so they don’t get soggy under all the toppings.

2: Add the Cheese

Sprinkle cheese over the hot fries and pop them back in the oven for a few minutes. This guarantees everything gets melty and amazing.

3: Layer on the Toppings

Add your meats, veggies, and sauces. Start with heavier toppings like proteins and work your way up to drizzles and garnishes.

4: Serve Hot

Loaded fries are best enjoyed immediately. Grab a fork—or your hands if you’re brave—and dig in!

Notes

Double Bake Your Fries: Bake them once, let them cool, and bake them again for extra crispiness.
Layer Strategically: Avoid dumping everything on top. A little layering goes a long way.
Use Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of parsley, cilantro, or green onions adds a pop of freshness.
Experiment with Flavors: Don’t stick to one theme—mix and match until you find your favorite combo.
