How to Make Aussie Cheese Fries
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and cut potatoes into your desired fry shape (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Toss the fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, cook bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of cheddar cheese with 1/4 cup of milk over low heat, stirring until smooth and creamy. Add 2 tablespoons of Aussie BBQ sauce and stir to combine.
- Once the fries are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the fries, top with crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.
