Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.
In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, remove and let it cool on a paper towel. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil. Add the potato strips and fry them until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
In a baking dish, layer the fried potatoes, top with sautéed onions, crumbled bacon, and finally the cheddar cheese.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
