Sriracha-Loaded Cheddar Bacon Fries
  1. 1

    Gather all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Put the cut fries in a large bowl. Cover them with cold water and let them sit for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a large baking sheet with foil.

  4. 4

    Drain the potatoes, rinse them, and drain again in a colander. Return the potatoes to the bowl.

  5. 5

    Whisk the oil and Sriracha in a small bowl until smooth. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat.

  6. 6

    Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the fries and bake for 10 minutes more.

  7. 7

    Use a spatula to pile the fries into the center of the baking sheet. Add the shredded Cheddar and bacon bits. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

  8. 8

    Top with chopped green onions and serve right away.
