One of our most favorite appetizers to get is the Aussie Cheese Fries at Outback Steakhouse.  They are so good!  I wanted to recreate them at home in the place of our usual baked potatoes with steaks.  I was so proud!  They were just as good!  We couldn’t stop snacking before our steaks were ready!

The key was using these new fries:  Ore Ida “Simply” Olive Oil-Sea Salt Country Style Fries

Side Note:  I often get comments on the name of these fries.  This dish is not an Australian dish, but a popular dish in an Australian-themed restaurant in the USA.  The name is just meant for fun, so who am I to change that!  Because these are fun and YUMMY!

Copycat Outback Aussie Cheese Fries

Ingredients

  • 3/4 bag of Ore Ida Simply Country Style Fries
  • 3/4 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese (shred it yourself for a creamer cheese)
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup to 1 cup good-quality Ranch dressing (We used Marie's found in the refrigerated produce section)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425.
  2. Spread fries onto baking sheet.  Bake according to package directions.
  3. Cook bacon until crispy in skillet, drain on paper towel, and chop.
  4. When fries are crispy, remove from oven, season with salt and pepper.  Pile fries into the center of the pan.  Top with shredded cheese and bacon.
  5. Put back in oven for another 3-5 minutes to melt cheese.
  6. Remove and top with green onions.  Serve with ranch on the side.  SO GOOD!!!!

    Hi, i’ve just discovered your website. I have to say i’m a big fan. I always find it amusing when i come across recipes that are “Australian” or come from the “Outback Steakhouse”. Cheese fries are basically unknown here in Australia, i’ve never been anywhere you can order them. And we don’t have Ranch dressing here either (shock, horror its true). I also hear that they do a “blooming onion” and we also don’t have them here. I know you are not touting this to be an Aussie recipe and you have no control over what restaurants sell, i just wanted to share my amusement with you.
