Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 28 oz frozen french fries Or 2 large Russet potatoes, cut into fries
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked and diced
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese Freshly grated is best
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions for garnish
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet Large enough to hold fries in a single layer.
  • 1 Skillet For cooking bacon.
  • 1 Cheese Grater

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the frozen fries in a single, even layer on a large baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or according to package directions, until golden brown and crispy.
  3. While the fries bake, prepare your toppings. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble. Ensure your chicken is cooked and diced into bite-sized pieces. Grate the cheddar cheese.
  4. Once the fries are crispy, remove them from the oven. Push the fries into a mound in the center of the baking sheet.
  5. Evenly distribute the diced chicken and crumbled bacon over the fries. Top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven, drizzle generously with ranch dressing, and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the crispiest fries, do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two if necessary.
Freshly grating your own cheese from a block will result in a much smoother, better melt than pre-shredded cheese.
Serve immediately for the best texture and experience.
