Topping
  1. Remove the fries from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top.
  2. Return the fries to the oven for just a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  3. Take them out and add on the crumbled bacon and chopped green onions.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess. For variations, consider using pulled pork, shredded chicken, or a vegetarian option with black beans and corn.
