Loaded Pub Fries

To make our loaded pub fries, we start by frying up some slices of bacon for crumbling on top of the finished fries. But we save the rendered bacon fat and use that, along with some melted butter, to coat the potato wedges before baking. The bacon fat adds a ton of flavor, but what really elevates these loaded pub fries to a whole new level is that they are also seasoned with a touch of smoked paprika – giving the finished fries a gentle hint of smoky flavor that is just perfect with the bacon and cheese topping on the potatoes!
