Ingredients:
4 cups frozen French fries (or fresh cut fries)

1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions:
Cook the Fries: Start by cooking your French fries according to the package directions (or fry your fresh-cut fries) until they are golden and crispy.
Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and milk, stirring occasionally. Once warmed, gradually stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese until smooth. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it thicken slightly, and you’re done!
Assemble the Fries: Arrange the cooked fries on a plate or in a basket. Pour the creamy cheese sauce generously over the fries, making sure to coat them well.
Top with Bacon: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cheesy fries.
Garnish & Serve: Optionally, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
