Ingredients
  

4 sizeable russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup sour cream

¼ cup chopped green onions

¼ cup crumbled cooked bacon

¼ cup jalapeños (sliced, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into fries of uniform thickness (about 1/4 inch). Keeping the skins on adds additional flavor and texture.

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato fries with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, tossing until they are completely coated.

        Arrange the seasoned fries in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring there is enough space between them for proper baking.

          Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they achieve a golden brown and crispy texture.

            Once the fries are finished baking, take them out of the oven and generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Put them back in the oven for an extra 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Take the loaded fries out of the oven and top with dollops of sour cream, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and sliced jalapeños if you choose.

                Serve immediately while hot and savor this ultimate Game Day treat with your family and friends!
