3. **Add cheese.** Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the fries, saving a bit to sprinkle on top later if you like.
4. **Whisk and pour.** In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the fries and cheese.
5. **Cook.** Cover and cook on **low for 4–6 hours**, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden. If your slow cooker runs hot, check around the 4-hour mark.
6. **Serve.** Sprinkle with additional cheese, herbs, hot sauce, or crumbled bacon, if desired. Scoop and enjoy!
