Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 32 oz. frozen french fries (1 package; homemade fries can also be used)
- 1 tbsp ranch seasoning
Toppings
- ½ cup freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup crumbled cooked bacon
- ¼ cup sliced green onion
Dressings
- 2 tbsp ranch dressing (plus more for serving)
Instructions
- Season the Fries: Arrange the frozen french fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning evenly over the fries, tossing slightly to coat. Add a bit more seasoning if you prefer stronger flavor.
- Bake the Fries: Cook the fries according to the package instructions, typically baking them in a preheated oven until crispy and golden brown.
- Add Toppings: Remove the fries from the oven and evenly distribute the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, feta cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions over the top. Drizzle with ranch dressing.
- Broil for Melting: Place the baking sheet under the oven broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve: Serve the bacon cheese fries hot with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For homemade fries, slice potatoes into sticks, toss with oil and seasoning, and bake until crispy before proceeding.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting compared to pre-shredded varieties.
- The broiling step is quick; monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Feel free to customize toppings with jalapeños, sour cream, or additional herbs.
