Ingredients
- 2 tsp Buttermilk powder dry powder, not liquid buttermilk
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Parsley dried
1 tsp Granulated Sugar
1 tsp Salt use less if the frozen fries are already salted
½ tsp Onion Powder
Waffle Fries
- 22 oz Waffle Fries frozen
2 Tbsp Olive Oil

Equipment

1 Large skillet (For bacon.)
Equipment images are illustrative. Exact products may vary.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to the temperature specified on the frozen waffle-fries package. Mix the buttermilk powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, sugar, salt, and onion powder in a small bowl. If the fries are already salted, start with less of the salt.
- Toss the frozen fries with the olive oil and spread in one layer on a large rimmed baking sheet, using a second sheet if needed. Bake according to the package directions, turning as directed, until golden and crisp. The original timing guide is about 20–26 minutes, but the package and the fries’ appearance take priority.
- While the fries bake, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning as needed, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes depending on thickness. Drain on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.
- Toss the hot baked fries with the dry seasoning, then spread them back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with white Cheddar and cooked bacon. Return to the oven for about 2–3 minutes, until the cheese melts. Top with sliced green onions and spoonfuls of sour cream. Serve immediately.
Notes
Makes six snack or side portions. Use plain frozen waffle fries; they do not need to be pre-flavored with sour cream and onion. Add the dry seasoning after the main bake so the milk powder and sugar get only a brief return to the oven. Keep sour cream chilled until serving. Timing is an estimate and varies by the frozen fries.
