Great for a side dish or appetizer, these Loaded Bacon and Cheese Fries are full of bacon and cheesy goodness! Easy to make! #baconmonth #putsomepiginit
Back to school has been stressful. Getting back into a routine has been harder than I thought it would be. Enter, Loaded Bacon and Cheese Fries. I'm not gonna lie, I totally wanted something indulgent after the week I had. Don't judge.
I'm not sure why, but I have always found potato dishes to be a source of comfort food to me. Mashed potatoes with gravy? Yes, please! Potato chips?! I'll take those too! Hashbrown Casserole? I might need two spoons of that. Baked Potatoes? Don't forget the butter, sour cream and chives! Maybe it comes from having so many potato dishes as a kid? I'm really not sure.
One thing is for certain ... these Loaded Bacon and Cheese Fries kinda made my day. They were easy and super delish. Thanks to having some help eating them, I even saved a few calories! ;)
