ingredients

cooking oil
1 pound frozen French fries
1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese or Mexican cheese blend
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Heat oil in a deep fryer, or heavy pan, to 350 degrees F.

Add the fries, in batches as needed, and cook until they are golden brown and float in the oil. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper toweling. Repeat with remaining fries.

Place the fries on a heat-proof platter. Season as desired with salt. Sprinkle the cheese and bacon on the fries. Place the fries in the oven and heat until the cheese melts. If desired, you can do this step in the microwave.

Serve hot.

    The really big secret to the aussie cheese fries is in the seasoning for the fries and the fact that the potatoes are cut fresh every day and double fried, once to seal in moisture and a second time to cook them all the way through and make them crispy. Youll probably get something more like Denny's cheese fries if you make them with frozen french fries.
