Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz frozen french fries
  • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded fresh from the block
  • 8 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoon sour cream
  • 2 tablespoon ranch dressing
  • 1 green onion thinly sliced
  • Fresh cracked pepper

Instructions
 

  • Bake or air fry french fries according to package directions until golden and crispy.
  • Whisk sour cream and ranch together until smooth. Set aside.
  • Place cooked fries on an oven-safe dish. Top with shredded cheddar and cooked bacon.
  • Bake or broil 2–3 minutes until cheese is bubbly and melted. Note, freshly shredded cheese melts very fast, so keep an eye on it!
  • Drizzle with ranch-sour cream sauce, garnish with green onion and cracked pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Shred the cheese fresh and straight from the block. It melts much much better than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Use your favorite fries, shoestring, crinkle cut, waffle fries, or even curly fries. They all work really well with this recipe.
  • This recipe can also be made in the air-fryer! Add a piece of aluminum to the air fryer basket. Cook fries according to directions on package, top with cheese and bacon, and cook another minute or so.
