Step 1

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook bacon until browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove from skillet; set aside onto paper towel-lined baking plate.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together garlic powder, salt, chili powder, mustard powder and onion powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a deep heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 375°F (190°C). Working in batches, fry potatoes just until tender and golden, returning oil to 375°F (190°C) between batches. Transfer to paper towel-lined baking sheet. While fries are still hot, toss with a small amount of spice mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes and spice mixture. Toss with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the parsley. Keep fries warm in the oven until ready to serve.

Step 4

Maple Hollandaise Sauce: In small pot, melt butter over low heat. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup and lemon juice until frothy. Slowly add egg mixture into melted butter and whisk gently for about 6 minutes (or until sauce is thickened and coats the back of the spoon). Remove from heat and keep warm.

Step 5

Evenly distribute fries, cheese and bacon onto two plates. Spoon half the Hollandaise sauce over cheese and bacon. Top each with 2 poached eggs and cover with remaining Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with reserved parsley and paprika.
