🥔 Cheesy Bacon Campfire Fries

This cheesy bacon campfire fries recipe is good as a side or a meal! Try adding the recommended toppings or topping ideas of your own!

Ingredients:

• 1 bag frozen French fries (or fresh-cut potatoes)
  
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend)
  
• 4–6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional)
  
• Sour cream or ranch for topping (optional)
  
• Foil & cooking spray
  

Instructions:

1. Prep Your Packets: Tear off large sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
   
2. Add Fries: Place a generous layer of frozen fries (or raw potato wedges, but they’ll take longer) in the center.
   
3. Cook Over Fire: Seal packets and place on hot coals or a grill grate over the fire. Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until fries are hot and crispy.
   
4. Add Toppings: Carefully open packets. Sprinkle cheese and bacon over the hot fries. Reseal and let sit for 2–3 minutes so the cheese melts.
   
5. Finish & Serve: Top with green onions, sour cream, or ranch. Eat right out of the foil for easy cleanup!
   

🔥 Tip: Want them extra crispy? Spread fries in a cast iron skillet instead of foil for that crunchy edge.
