Anyone else have a secret love affair with french fries? I love to eat healthy, and I never order them, but if there are fries put within my reach I will always ( and I mean ALWAYS ) steal some. The good news is that with a little bit of time you can make your own healthy-er loaded french fries at home and eat them without feeling your pants get tighter with every bite! These loaded french fries can be made as a side for dinner or as a larger portion for a party, such as the Super Bowl that is coming up. Even those that like the greasy oozing french fries will love this version topped with cheese and bacon.
