loaded fries

Dressed-up fries

Loaded fries are French fries topped with additional ingredients—typically cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, or some combination.

The concept borrows from the loaded baked potato.

Restaurant menus offer endless variations: chili cheese fries, carne asada fries, kimchi fries.

The loading can be modest or excessive enough to obscure the fries beneath.
