We all have some of our favorite foods, right? Well, for my husband — many of those favorites happen to fall into the category of fried. While the food is delicious, it does tend to stress me out and cause a bit of high cholesterol. The hubs has been wanting me to share his infamous (and homemade) cheese fries and today is the day, friends. There is no doubt, they are dee-lish. For me, a side of sour cream or ranch dip and it’s a brief taste of heaven! {hee-hee} The best homemade cheese fries are coming right up, a true comfort food you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home!
Easy and fast, these Homemade Cheese Fries are perfect served with bacon bit and your dipping sauce of choice!

Heck yeah!! These look amazing and I am right with you. Add a little ranch and they would be almost exactly like the “loaded fries” we like to pick up sometimes. Now we can make them at home – yikes and YUM!! Pinned!
