    Pulled pork fries make a hearty, yummy snack for football or sports-watching parties. A dish that's also fun and kid-friendly and comes together quickly for weeknight meals! In this loaded fries recipe, crispy baked fries are topped with juicy, succulent shredded pork and melted cheese! It takes only moments to prep and is ready to eat in less than 25 minutes!

    Pulled pork fries served up on a small wooden plate with a bowl of bbq sauce in the background.

    French fries are always a favorite in my house and this one is over the top!! I made up a batch recently when some people were over to the house to hang out and they disappeared in a flash! And even better, they're a hit with kids and adults!

    Loaded Fries with Shredded Pork

    This french fry recipe was inspired by my slow cooker pork carnitas on Kitchen Divas and is a great way to repurpose leftovers into another meal. These fries pair well with these Tequila Berry Cocktails for parties and pairs well as a main course with this broccoli salad as a side dish.

    Ingredients

    This easy shredded pork loaded fries recipe is made with six simple ingredients you can find in most grocery stores.

    • Frozen crinkle-cut French fries
    • Cooked and shredded pork roast
    • BBQ sauce
    • Yellow onion
    • Shredded cheddar cheese
    • Green onions

    See recipe card further down on the page for the exact quantities of each ingredient.

    Instructions

    This easy two step recipe requires you to layer everything up and then cook the fries in the oven.

    Step 1: Prep Up the Fries

    Begin by preheating the oven to 425° F.

    Use a large baking sheet and start with a layer of fries covering the pan. On top add the shredded pork, followed by the bbq sauce, onions and cheese.

    Step 2: Cook the Fries

    When the oven is hot, place the tray of layered fries in the oven and bake until they are hot and the cheese is melted!

    Sprinkle the green onions over the top before serving them up!

    Hint: Use a large pan which allows you to spread out the fries into a somewhat single layer. I find this half sheet pan that's about 13 x 18 inches in size works best!

    This way the fries cook up perfectly and everything is evenly distributed! If your oven won't fit this size, then split it up into two trays.

    Equipment

    This easy recipe requires absolutely nothing special to prepare! Likely, you will have everything you need in the kitchen already!

    • Baking sheet pan
    • Spatula
    • Knife and cutting board

    Storage

    Pulled pork fries are best eaten when they are first made. However, if you have leftovers and want to try to keep them, you can store the fries in the refrigerator for up to five days.

    Tips

    This is an easy recipe that any level cook should be able to quickly and easily prepare! But there are a few tips I've learned over time making this that I recommend to make sure you achieve excellent results.

    • Use crinkle cut fries. These cook up crispier and also hold onto the toppings better.
    • Spread out the fries into a relatively thin layer. They can overlap a little but not piled up super high.
    • Serve loaded fries with pulled immediately for best flavor! Serve up a fun sauce for dipping like this Quick Blue Cheese Dip.
    • Evenly spread all the ingredients out on top of the fries. This way each bite will be filled with ultimate yumminess!

    FAQ

    Do you have questions about loaded fries with shredded pork? Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about pulled pork fries.

    How do I reheat?

    While I typically don't recommend these fries for leftovers, as I don't think they taste as good the second time around, if you want to reheat, spread them out on a tray and top with a bit more cheese. Bake in the oven to reheat the fries and pork and melt the cheese.

    Are loaded fries a meal or side dish?

    Loaded fries are most frequently served up as a starter in many restaurants. Since these pulled pork fries are topped with meat, they can both double as a side dish and a meal. You could serve them up with sandwiches or burgers for a hearty dinner or use them as a main dish paired with a salad or vegetable side dish. In addition, loaded fries make an excellent party food to serve for small or large groups.

    Can I use fresh cut fries to make pulled pork fries?

    I recommend using the frozen crinkle french fries rather than fresh. Not only is a simple solution that makes this recipe easier to prepare, but they cook up crispier in less time.
