Outback Steakhouse Aussie Fries

Ingredients

• 1 (2 lb) bag of frozen French fries
• 1 cup shredded colby-monterey jack cheese (An excellent suggestion is to use the cheese that is labeled as "Taco Cheese", cheese for Tacos.)
• 6 pieces bacon, cooked

Directions

1. 1

   Divide the fries into half, and use the other half later.

2. 2

   Heat oil to 350degrees.

3. 3

   If you do not have a thermostat, make sure the oil is hot enough, so that when you set a French fry in there it will cook immediately.

4. 4

   If the French fry sinks to the bottom, and barely bubbles, it is not hot enough.

5. 5

   Fry the potatoes in small batches, they are done when they are golden brown, and float to the top of the skillet.

6. 6

   Be sure to drain the potatoes on paper towels.

7. 7

   You can keep them warm in the oven while the other fries are done.

8. 8

   When all French fries are done cooking, and drained place them onto a platter.

9. 9

   Salt the French fries if you like, and sprinkle on cheese and cooked bacon.

10. 10

    Pop these back into a warm oven until the cheese begins to melt.
