Loaded Fries
I love simple snacks and appetizers. I actually live for them. They are perfect for snacking after school or for game day appetizers. Who am I kidding though? They also make great easy dinners.
These loaded fries are no exception. They are a family favorite in our house. We love to cook up a huge batch of fries and top them with all our favorite toppings. Once you try these loaded fries, it will become a family favorite in your house too.
For other game day favorites, you need to try our Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip and our garlic Knots.

Tips Tricks and FAQs
- Be sure to cook the fries first. Be sure they are extra crispy.
- While technically you can use cheese sauce, I don’t recommend it. This tends to make the fries soggy. Shredded cheese is the best option.
- Fry up your bacon ahead of time or opt for precooked bacon bits. These are always a huge lifesaver for dishes like these.
- Use your favorite varieties of cheese. I use sharp white cheddar, but you can use any cheese that you want. Pepperjack, Mozzarella, Monetary Jack, Colby Jack, Swiss, etc.
Storage
These loaded fries are best enjoyed right away. I do not recommend storing them as they will be soggy if stored in the fridge.
