These Cheese Fries with Bacon are a copycat from my recent trip to Aruba! A week in Aruba and we hit up Lucy's for this cheesy goodness more than once! Loaded with melty cheese, meaty bacon, tomatoes, onion and a spicy Chipotle Ranch dressing.
Place fries in a single layer on rimmed baking sheet. On a separate rimmed baking sheet with a baking rack, lay out 4 slices of bacon.
13 oz frozen Fries, 4 slices Bacon
Place sheet pans in oven and bake for 10 min. Rotate pans and bake for 10 more minutes until bacon and fries are golden brown.
Remove pans from oven and place bacon on paper towels to drain and cool slightly
Add shredded cheese to top of fries and place back in oven for 3-5 minutes. I recommend having more fries than you think. You need 2 layers of fries for one thick layer of cheese or it’s a little too much.You can turn the oven to broil on low if you like - but the cheese melts just fine at 425º.
