• Next, using 1 or 2 slices of aluminum foil, create a boat for the fries.
• Layer the fries in the foil, and fold in all sides of foil, leaving the top slightly open.
• Then, place on grill, or in the oven, at 400° for 20-30 minutes. Stir at least once.
• Once the fries are cooked or crispy, top with cheese until it’s completely melted.
• Sprinkle with bacon and salt and pepper if needed.
