Gently drop the potatoes into simmering water and cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove the potatoes into a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher until chunky.
Add the butter, bacon, green onions, and sour cream and continue mashing to combine. Sprinkle in ½ cup of shoestring fries and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle on the remaining ¼ cup of shoestring fries. Serve warm.
