Ingredients
  

2 large russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon

1/4 cup sliced green onions

1/4 cup sour cream

Optional: jalapeño slices for added heat

Instructions
 

Start by thoroughly rinsing the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, roughly 1/4 inch thick, to create ideal fries.

    In a substantial bowl, combine the potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until they are uniformly coated.

      Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Once hot, place the seasoned fries in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.

        Air fry the potatoes for approximately 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Aim for a golden, crispy finish!

          When the fries are nearing completion, add the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon on top during the final five minutes of cooking, allowing the cheese to melt.

            After they reach an appealing crispy texture and the cheese has melted, gently take the loaded fries out of the air fryer.

              Present the fries in a large bowl, adorned with fresh green onions, a generous scoop of sour cream, and jalapeño slices if you prefer a little kick!
