Copy the popular cheese fries from Outback Steakhouse with this simple recipe that starts with frozen french fries and ends with a sprinkling of bacon.

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

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

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.
