Can I use frozen fries instead of fresh potatoes?
Absolutely! Pre-packaged frozen fries work just as well and are a time-saver. Bake them according to the package instructions and follow the rest of the recipe for the toppings.
What kind of cheese should I use?
Cheddar is the classic choice for loaded fries, but feel free to get creative! A blend of mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack cheese can give you a unique flavor.
Can I make these fries in an air fryer?
Yes! Air frying the fries works wonderfully. Just toss the cut potatoes with olive oil and seasoning, then air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway through. Once cooked, load them up with cheese and toppings.
Can I make these ahead of time for a party?
Yes! You can prepare the fries and toppings in advance, then bake them right before serving. If you’re making them ahead, store the cooked fries and toppings separately, and assemble when ready.
How can I make these fries less greasy?
For a lighter option, you can bake the fries on a wire rack to allow excess oil to drain off. You can also try using an air fryer, which uses little to no oil.
Enjoy your ultimate cheesy loaded fries!
