Ingredients
- 8 lices applewood bacon
- 6 ounces American cheese
- 4 tablespoons cheddar cheese divided use
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 8 ounces frozen French fries I recommend Alexia® House Cut Fries with Sea Salt or Ore-Ida® Extra Crispy Fast Food Fries
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until crisp in a skillet over medium heat or in an air fryer for 6 to 8 minutes at 350°F. Drain the bacon and chop it into small pieces.
- To make the cheese sauce, heat the American cheese, 2 tablespoons of the cheddar cheese, and the milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the cheese melts.
- To prepare the french fries, you can either deep-fry them in oil or air-fry them.
- In oil: In a large Dutch oven, add vegetable oil until it is 4 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350°F. Cook the frozen french fries for about 4 to 5 minutes or until they are crisp. Drain on a wire rack.
- In an air fryer: Heat the air fryer to 350°F. Place the frozen french fries in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 14 to 16 minutes or until they are crisp.
- To assemble the Baconator Fries, place the french fries on a plate. Cover them with cheese sauce, and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and the chopped bacon on top.
Notes
- I recommend Alexia® House Cut Fries with Sea Salt (they have skins on them like Wendy’s) or Ore-Ida® Potatoes - Extra Crispy Fast Food Fries® if you want to air fry your fries.
