Satisfy your cravings with crispy, smoky delights tonight!

1

Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into thin strips to make fries. This should take about 10 minutes.

2

Soak the fries in cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch. This step helps achieve crispiness.

3

While the fries are soaking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain and cool, then crumble it.

4

Drain the fries and dry them thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel. This prevents splattering when frying.

5

In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). This will take a few minutes.

6

Carefully add the fries in small batches to the hot oil. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

7

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately season with salt and black pepper.

8

Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the hot fries and serve immediately for a deliciously indulgent treat.

• Add cheese sauce drizzled on top for a decadent touch.
• Mix in jalapeños for an extra kick of heat.
• Crisp up some garlic in the bacon drippings before frying the fries for added flavor.

• Ensure the fries are dry before adding them to the hot oil to prevent splatter.
• Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches for the best crispiness.
• Experiment with different seasonings like garlic powder or paprika on your fries.
