Steps:
- Drain some of the dressing out of the coleslaw by putting the coleslaw into a strainer over a bowl. It helps to use a spoon to press some of the dressing out. Set aside. On a sheet pan, add the fries in a single layer, top with the pulled pork, bacon, barbecue sauce, and cheese sauce. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-10 minutes.

SWAMP FRIES
I had my first taste of these french fries in a New Port Richey, Florida restaurant, but when I moved to TN I missed them so much, that I made my own version. These are easy and make a great side dish or afternoon snack! Ps. This can be made with Low fast cheese and Bacon Substitute, but it's definately not a diet food!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for swamp fries because they are firm and have a high starch content, which makes them crispy when fried.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes: This will help to remove the starch from the potatoes, which will make them crispier.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying them: This will help to prevent them from sticking together and will also make them crispier.
- Use a high-quality oil for frying: Canola oil or vegetable oil are both good choices.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the potatoes: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F.
- Fry the potatoes in small batches: This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and sticking together.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will usually take about 3-4 minutes.
- Season the potatoes with your favorite seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
- Serve the swamp fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, ketchup, or fry sauce are all good options.
