The Manchego cheese on these potatoes make these fries special, but it isn't mandatory and you can use a cheese of your choice. Use it if you can because of its sweet and mellow flavor.

1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Cook bacon till crisp, then rough chop. Set aside. Reserve one tablespoon of the bacon fat.
Cut potatoes into wedges and keep the wedges uniform in size. Put potatoes in a large bowl and add bacon fat, melted butter, salt, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Toss well to coat.
Pour potatoes onto a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes. Flip and roast for another 10-15 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
Mound the potatoes into four piles. Cover each pile with the Machego cheese, then bacon, then the cheddar cheese. Place the pan back in the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese. Alternatively, keep the fries in a single layer and cover with both cheese types and bacon and again place back in oven for 2-3 minutes to melt cheese.
Sprinkle with scallions and place a dollop of sour cream on top.
