Hello and welcome to the most decadent, savory, and over the top corner of the food world known as loaded fries!
I am 100% ready to dive into these 21 incredible recipes that pile cheese, meat, and sauce high on golden potatoes for the ultimate party food or late night snack.
Grab a fork and maybe a few extra napkins because things are about to get delightfully messy in the best possible way.
1. Pizza Fries
You might think this looks simple compared to the other over the top recipes, but trust me when I say the flavors are absolutely bringing it.
Who in their right mind doesn’t love a pepperoni pizza situation? It is practically impossible to go wrong with tangy pizza sauce, ooey gooey cheese, and salty crispy pepperoni slices all hanging out together on fries.
2. BBQ Bacon Crack Fries
The name really says it all because these bad boys are straight up addictive. We are talking extra crispy, extra saucy, and extra decadent thanks to those beer battered fries.
And obviously the spicy cheddar sauce and tangy BBQ are purely heavenly alongside some salty bacon for good measure.
3. Loaded Korean Kimchi Fries With Bibigo Bulgogi
My love for kimchi runs so deep that I absolutely had to include another recipe! This beauty features Bibigo Bulgogi which is thinly sliced beef in a tangy and rich Korean BBQ sauce.
Serving that over crispy waffle fries with zippy kimchi and a melty cheese sauce feels downright dangerous in the best way.
4. Greek Fries
There is a Greek proverb about how difficult it is to argue with the belly, and I really just love that. You definitely cannot argue with these sensational sheet pan Greek fries.
They are bright and impossibly tasty thanks to salty feta, briny olives, crunchy red onion, and fragrant herbs.
5. Copycat Chili’s Texas Cheese Fries {Oven-Baked}
These hot, cheesy, and salty copycat Texas cheese fries are loaded with flavor and ready to bring the heat to your next gathering. You just cover crunchy steak fries with crumbly bacon bits, gooey cheese, and plenty of pickled jalapenos.
A dreamy Ranch dressing keeps things cool while that spicy pepper flavor shines through in every single mouthful.
6. Seasoned Garlic Crab Fries with Aioli
Sweet succulent crab meat with crispy garlic and hand cut fries? Yes, sign me up right now!
You season the fries with Old Bay and cut them nice and thick so they hold up under that seafood topping. If you are not a crab lover, no worries because shrimp works just as yummy with some green onions thrown on top.
7. Sloppy Joe Sweet Potato Cheese Fries
Honestly, I may never make regular sloppy joes again after seeing this. How can a bun even compete with waffle fries and hearty sloppy joe meat?
You can make your own sauce or spoon it from a can, but just do not be shy with the cheese! And please try it with fried eggs on top because the yolk mixed with the meat is to die for.
8. Sheet Pan Smashburger Fries
You can go ahead and forget about plain mustard and ketchup! These fries are practically drowning in smashed burger chunks, pickled jalapenos, and sauce.
You make your own Thousand Island dressing to play with the flavor, like adding extra paprika if you are like me. Add shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes for a Big Mac vibe filled with fries!
9. Vegan Loaded Fries
I would love to say that these loaded vegan fries are healthy, but they are just as indulgent and calorific as the rest of this list. They are smothered in a savory tofu scramble and vegan breakfast sausage which makes them pretty darn scrumptious.
The creamy egg free hollandaise sauce and chopped green onions really seal the deal for me.
10. The Best Carne Asada Fries
Is there anything better than carne asada? Only carne asada fries with guacamole, jalapenos, sour cream, and lime juice.
You will need marinated steak like sirloin so you can cut thin slices from the perfectly cooked piece. Cooking the whole piece first prevents the steak from getting tough like it might if you cut it before cooking.
11. Crawfish Fries with Creamy Queso Sauce
Let’s take a trip to the Deep South with these irresistible crawfish fries. You will practically feel the balmy Louisiana air on your skin after one bite.
The sweet crawfish gets cooked in butter, garlic, onion powder, and Cajun seasoning for loaded punchy flavor. Then you make a Cajun infused queso sauce that is so good you will want to swim in it!
12. Buffalo Chicken Loaded Baked Sweet Potato Fries
You might need to take a seat after one bite of these buffalo and blue cheese loaded fries. It is like your favorite spicy wings and crunchy fries made a big, saucy, cheesy baby.
You will absolutely adore these loaded fries if you love buffalo chicken and blue cheese.
13. Double-Baked Fries with Garlic Cheese Sauce and Bacon
Don’t you think everything is better with garlic? This from scratch spicy garlicky cheese sauce is truly the ultimate fry topping.
You will swoon after one bite of the crispy bacon and perfectly crunchy fries. Double baking the potatoes makes them tender inside and crispy outside without a deep fryer!
14. Chili Cheese Fries
Are you looking for a new way to serve chili? These fully loaded fries feature savory ground beef and bean chili with cheese, sour cream, and onion in every bite for a surefire hit.
You can serve them as individual skillet meals for dinner or as a tasty messy appetizer for the next big game.
15. BBQ Pulled Pork Loaded Sweet Potato Fries
I love barbecue season so much. But with these insanely saucy loaded fries, I simply cannot wait until summer to get my fix.
These babies are like a whole BBQ dinner in one dish with tangy pulled pork and cool coleslaw on a bed of fries. Just make sure you do not forget the cheese or the napkins!
16. Copycat In N Out Animal Fries
I have not made it out West in a while, so I have not had a Double Double with Animal Fries in way too long. Luckily we can curb that fast food craving right at home with this copycat In N Out recipe!
These fries are saucy and irresistible topped with fried onions, American cheese, and homemade special sauce.
17. Mexican Fries
We call these super fries in my house because they are super delicious, super filling, and super easy to make! You do not need a cape to whip up these loaded Mexican Fries with zesty jalapenos, hearty black beans, and spicy chicken or ground beef.
Just do not skimp on the lime crema unless you prefer nacho cheese!
18. Breakfast Poutine with Hollandaise Sauce
French fries for breakfast? Count me in immediately!
Traditional poutine has cheese curds and gravy, but you will love this fun twist loaded with breakfast faves like bacon, eggs, sausage, and cheddar cheese. It all goes onto crispy tater tots and yummy french fries with hollandaise sauce to get you all set.
19. Loaded Kimchi and Chorizo Fries
Have you jumped on the kimchi bandwagon yet? I love the unique flavor on pretty much everything, and this recipe is a filling diverse crowd pleaser.
People might forget all about the TV if you serve this at your next game day party. You could even make these for breakfast with a few runny fried eggs on top for extra yum!
20. Philly Cheesesteak Loaded Fries
If you have ever had an authentic Philly cheesesteak, you know that it is cheesy, meaty, and incredibly filling. These cheesesteak fries are really no different!
The only real change here is using a bed of salty crispy fries instead of bread.
21. Butter Chicken Loaded Fries
Creamy butter chicken and fries slathered in masala sauce and gooey melted mozzarella is just pure yum! You can make the butter chicken from scratch or grab some from a local spot.
Either way, you cannot beat the spiced tomato sauce and tender chicken served all up on a sheet tray with warm naan for double the carbs.
