What You’ll Need for Loaded French Fries
Essential Ingredients
500g frozen french fries
200g grated cheese
100g cooked bacon bits
60ml cheese sauce
2 tbsp chopped green onions
2 tbsp sour cream
Add Jalapeños
Spice things up by adding jalapeños. These add a nice kick and pair beautifully with the creaminess of the cheese. You can use pickled or fresh jalapeños, depending on how spicy you like your loaded fries. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the fries once they're cooked, just before serving.
Why Use Fresh Green Onions
Fresh green onions add a burst of flavour and a lovely crunch to your dish. To make the most of your green onions, chop them finely and sprinkle over the fries just before serving. They complement the cheesy bacon flavours beautifully and provide a fresh counterpart to the rich ingredients.
Steps to Cook Loaded French Fries in Air Fryer
Cooking these loaded french fries in your air fryer is simple.
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C.
Spread the frozen fries evenly in the air fryer basket.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.
Transfer fries to a serving dish and drizzle with cheese sauce.
Top with bacon bits, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream.
Avoid Overloading
If you overload your air fryer basket, your fries won't get crispy. Cook in batches if necessary for best results.
Serve these loaded french fries with a side of ranch dressing for dipping, or accompany them with BBQ pulled-pork fries for a heartier appetite. They make excellent party snacks or a fun addition to your dinner table when you’re craving something extra special.
