Step-by-Step Instructions for Loaded Dirty Fries

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and spread the frozen french fries evenly on a baking sheet. Bake them for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. For an extra crunch, consider frying the fries according to package instructions instead.
Once the fries are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle a generous layer of cheddar cheese over the top. Add crumbled bacon and sliced jalapeños for that spicy kick. Return the loaded fries to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
After the cheese has melted, take your Loaded Dirty Fries out of the oven and let them cool for a minute. Top with a dollop of sour cream for creaminess and garnish with freshly chopped green onions for a burst of flavor. Serve hot and enjoy the explosion of textures and flavors!
