Outback Steakhouse Aussie Fries

 

 

Crisp French fries smothered in melted cheese and bacon, this appetizer can really make you salivate.

INGREDIENTS:

·         One 2 pound bag of frozen French fries

·         1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese (or you can use the cheese that is labeled taco cheese)

·         6 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled

·         Divide the bag of fries in half and use the other half later.

·         Heat oil to 350 degrees.

·         If you do not have a thermometer, make sure the oil is hot enough so that when you set a French fry in there, it will cook immediately. If the French fry sinks to the bottom and barely bubbles, it is not hot enough.

·         Fry the potatoes in small batches. They are done when they are golden brown and float to the top of the skillet. (I like to use a Dutch oven).

·         Drain potatoes on paper towels.

·         You can keep them warm in the oven while the other fries are done.

·         When all French fries are cooked and drained

·         Place them on platter.

Salt French fries if you like and sprinkle on cheese and cooked bacon.

Pop these back into a warm oven until the cheese begins to melt.
