Instructions

Preheat the oven and bake the frozen French fries according to the package instructions until they are golden and crispy.
While the fries are baking, warm the pulled pork in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
Once the fries are cooked, transfer them to an oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Top the fries with the pulled pork and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Place the skillet or baking dish back into the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and garnish with thinly sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

For extra crispy fries, you can double fry them. After the first round of baking, increase the oven temperature, return the fries to the oven, and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Experiment with different types of cheese to customize the flavor profile. Smoked Gouda, pepper jack, or blue cheese can add a unique twist. Add your favorite toppings and condiments to enhance the flavor. Sour cream, barbecue sauce, or hot sauce can take these loaded fries to the next level. Pair the Loaded French Fries with a refreshing side salad or coleslaw to balance the richness of the dish. Enjoy!
