Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Sour Cream and Onion Seasoning:

  • 2 teaspoons powdered buttermilk

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Waffle Fries:

  • 1 (22 ounce) package frozen waffle fries

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 7 slices bacon

  • 2 cups shredded white Cheddar cheese

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees (230 degrees C).

  2. Mix powdered buttermilk, garlic powder, parsley, sugar, salt, and onion powder together in a small bowl until combined.

  3. Place frozen waffles in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sour cream and onion mix and toss to coat evenly. Spread waffle fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden and crispy, 20 to 26 minutes, or according to package directions.

  5. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble and set aside.

  6. Remove waffle fries from the oven and sprinkle evenly with Cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. 

  7. Return fries to the oven; bake until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Top with green onions and sour cream. Serve immediately.
