Basic home made cheese fries

Things you'll need:

Russet potatoes (as many as you like)

Cooked bacon crumbled( I use some bacon ends that I have canned)

Shredded cheese (Mexican or three cheese works best)

Green onions( chopped)

Peanut oil

Paper towels

Directions:

Warm the peanut oil either in an electric fryer or in a pan. If using a pan to fry them make sure there's enough oil to cover the fries completely 

Cut potatoes lengthwise. You can use a mandolin to get them really thin or you can just cut them with a knife as thin or thick as you'd like. I used the mandolin on these cause I like them thin. Once the potatoes are cut place them into the pan or fryer. I use an electric fryer just because it's easier and less mess. Let potatoes fry until golden brown and slightly crispy roughly about 7-10 minutes. Remove from oil and let drain on two paper towels. While the fries are draining season the fries any way you like just don't over season. I personally just like plain sea salt. Once the fries are seasoned place on a plate and cover them with cheese and sprinkle on the green onions and bacon bits.  To melt the cheese place in microwave for about 45 seconds on high And you're done. 

NOTE: when making large batches of cheese fries warm oven to about 350 degrees. Place the fries on a large cookie sheet or baking pan separate into small groups adding cheese, bacon bits, and green onion to each group. Put in oven for about 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
