⅔ Cup Mozzarella Cheese Shredded
1 Cup Cheddar Cheese Shredded
1 Cup Bacon Bits
⅔ Cup Sour Cream
3 Spring Onions or Chives

Instructions

Oven

Preheat oven to 210˚C (410˚F).
Place the frozen fries on a lined baking tray in a single layer.
Bake for 20 minutes, turning half way through, until desired crispiness is reached.
Meanwhile, dice the bacon and fry in a frypan until crispy.
Wash and slice the spring onions and put to the side.
Remove tray from over and pile up the fries into the middle of the tray.
Sprinkle with your choice of seasonings.
Sprinkle the cheese and bacon bits on top.
Place the tray back into the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Remove from oven and place a large dollop of sour cream on top and sprinkle with sliced spring onions.

Air Fryer

This recipe could also be made in the air fryer, though you will need to do it in a couple of lots.
Line the air fryer basket with aluminium foil.
Place a single layer of fries in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15-20 minutes until desired crispiness is reached. Shake the basket 2 to 3 times during cooking.
Meanwhile, dice the bacon and fry in a frypan until crispy.
Wash and slice the shallots and put to the side.
When done, bring the fries into the centre of the basket, season and cover with the cheeses and bacon bits.
Air fry for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Remove from air fryer, place a large dollop of sour cream on top and sprinkle with sliced spring onions.

Storing

If you do manage to have some leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
To reheat, place them on a lined baking tray and bake in the oven until they are hot and crispy, around 10 minutes, at 200˚C (400˚F).
