Ingredients for Spicy Bacon Cheese Fries
- Potatoes: Starchy base for the fries, crisping up beautifully in the air fryer for a satisfying crunch in every bite.
- Bacon: Adds a salty, savory crunch to the dish, complementing the cheese and spices with its rich flavor profile.
- Cheddar cheese: Melts into gooey goodness, providing a creamy and tangy element that ties all the flavors together perfectly.
Tools and Equipment Needed
- Ninja Foodi Air Fryer: Essential for air frying the fries to crispy perfection without using excessive oil.
- Cooking Spray: Prevents the fries from sticking to the air fryer basket and helps achieve a crispy texture.
