Baked Cheddar Fries

- COOK TIME
- 1 Hr
If you want to fancy up your plain old french fries with ease then you'll love our Baked Cheddar Fries! These fries deliver a whole lot of flavor with not a whole lot of work. Start with frozen fries, add 5 simple ingredients, toss them in the oven and relax! You'll be thrilled how easy it is to impress!
What You'll Need
- 1 (24-ounce) bag frozen French fries
- 1 cup (4 ounces) grated Sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
-
Spread the French fries in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese, parsley, half-and-half, salt and pepper.
- Cover and bake for 1 hour.
Notes
- Sometimes I leave these in the oven a little longer because I like them nice and brown.

How long would I bake when cutting my own fries from Russets. I presume 1 hour should get the job done, but I ask because I hate to waste fries!

Hello there! While we have not tried this recipe with freshly cut fries, we believe that it could work. Pre-cook the fries on their own in the oven for 25 minutes, then follow the instructions as above (including the 1 hour cooking time). We'd love to hear how these turn out for you!

I wondered if this recipe was a misprint but decided to try it anyway. I think trying to cook frozen fries for an hour at 450 must be a misprint. I cooked them according to directions and after a half hour they were turning into mush.
