    7 Loaded Baked Potato Dip

    You'll Love This

    • It's possibly the most perfect game day appetizer you've ever had. It's got all the flavors of a classic loaded baked potato but you don't need a fork and knife to eat it!
    • You can scoop that cheesy, creamy, bacon loaded dip on a crispy waffle fry with one hand WHILE you are holding a cold beer in the other. I'm all about multi-tasking and this appetizer is a no exception!
    • This dip actually doubles as a baked potato topper. Have you heard of Top the Tater? Well, it's amazing. And this dip is basically a homemade version of that delicious baked potato topping. Save any leftover dip and scoop it onto a hot, steaming potato - and dinner is done!

    Instructions

    Bake bacon on a cooling rack on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes or until crispy. Crumble and set aside. Bake waffle fries according to package directions.

    Add sour cream, cream cheese, sharp cheddar, bacon, green onion, garlic powder, hot sauce and a large pinch of salt and pepper to a large bowl.

    Tips

    • Stick with sharp cheddar cheese for this recipe. If you only have mild on hand that will work in a pinch, but the sharp cheddar - when combined with all the other ingredients - really shines through and gives it a cheesy flavor. Other types of cheese can easily get lost in all the bacon and green onion!
    • It's easier to mix softened or room temperature cream cheese into the dip than cream cheese that came straight from the fridge. Just let it sit out on the counter for 30 minutes or so, or zap it in the microwave (without the foil wrapper!) for 5 seconds or so.
    • This dip can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week. Throw it together when you have some free time during the week. Then when Sunday night football rolls around, all you have to do is bake the waffle fries and grab your favorite dip out of the fridge.
