If you fancy a change from turkey sandwiches or a curry this year, dice up any leftover turkey and make these Christmas Loaded Fries instead. To avoid wasting any tasty scraps, we’ve topped some homemade chips with bacon, onions, cranberry sauce and a bit of brie from the cheeseboard. 

Once the fries are baked and golden, they’re ready to be loaded up with toppings and popped back into the oven until the cheese has melted. 

Enjoy them in front of your favourite festive film, or gather the whole family together around the table. Either way, there’ll be clean plates all round, and no leftover Christmas turkey to go to waste!
