If you’ve ever debated between ordering fries or pizza, this recipe has you covered. Loaded pizza fries combine the best parts of both into one over-the-top, cheesy, saucy, crispy snack. They’re baked until golden, then smothered in marinara, melty cheese, and pepperoni. It’s like eating pizza off a pile of fries.
These are perfect for game day, late-night cravings, or any time you want something fun and indulgent. The pepperoni gets crispy, the cheese pulls are real, and you can easily customize the toppings. They’re a total crowd-pleaser and couldn’t be easier to throw together.
Helpful Tips
- Get the fries really crispy: Don’t skip the first bake. You want them sturdy enough to hold all the toppings.
- Use cup and crisp pepperoni: They curl up and get extra crispy, adding the best texture.
- Serve immediately: These are best hot out of the oven while the cheese is gooey and the fries are still crisp.
