Bacon Nacho Fries

Okay, this is more of a guide than it is a recipe, but do yourselves a favor and make these fries.  They are the perfect gameday snack and will definitely leave you and your friends wanting more!

 

Nachos are great and all, but nacho fries are better!

What you’ll need

  • Fries
  • Pico
  • Shredded Cheddar
  • Bacon
  • Sour Cream

To make these, you’ll want to start with a big batch of Fries. If you don’t feel like making you’re own, feel free to use frozen.  You’ll also want to make a bowl of this Pico de Galo.  Last thing you need to do is fry up some bacon, then chop it up into bits.

To assemble

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pile on the fries.  Evenly distribute most of the bacon onto the fries and top with a layer of cheese.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  3. Top with Pico, and more bacon. Drizzle with Sour cream and garnish with chopped cilantro.  Serve with limes, more jalapeños, and some extra pico.
  4. Enjoy!

The next time you’re craving take out, save yourself the trip and make these instead.  It’s surprisingly easy to replicate that classic fast food feel at home.  The key is thin patties, and a super hot pan to get a nice sear.  These are guaranteed to satisfy and you know exactly what’s in the food you’re eating.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chuck
  • 4 slices american cheese

  • 2 burger buns
  • 2 russet potatoes
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • salt & pepper

Method

  1. Divide chuck into 4 equal balls and flatten into 1/4” thick patties, liberally season them with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat cast iron skillet to high and melt in butter.  Add the burgers to the pan and cook for up to 2 minutes then flip.  After the flip, add a slice of cheese to each patty and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Place buns in the skillet, cut side down until lightly toasted.
  4. Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, and condiments of your choice.
  5. To make the fries, peel the potatoes and cut them into fry size pieces. Soak the cut potatoes in ice water for an hour to remove excess starch.

Remove fries from oil and increase the heat to 375°F.  Place the fries back in the oil to finish cooking for about another minute or until golden brown.
