Step-by-Step Instructions for Loaded Cheesy Fries

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Spread the frozen thick-cut French fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the fries and toss to coat.

Once golden, sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese over the fries and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
Add crispy bacon bits, sour cream, green onions, and jalapeños before serving.
