Description

Crispy fries layered with creamy ranch, crispy bacon, and spicy jalapeños – this flavor-packed snack is perfect for game days, family nights, or anytime you’re craving something bold and cheesy.

Ingredients

Scale

1 bag frozen French fries (about 28 ounces)
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 jalapeños, sliced (use fresh or pickled based on preference)
¾ cup ranch dressing
2 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven following the package instructions for the fries. Bake until golden and crisp, about 20–25 minutes.
While fries bake, cook bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
Once fries are done, sprinkle cheddar cheese over them and return to oven for 5 minutes until melted and bubbly.
Drizzle ranch dressing over hot cheesy fries, then top with bacon and jalapeño slices.
Finish with chopped green onions, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Serve these fries straight out of the oven to keep them crispy. Want a little extra punch? Add more jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce. For a heartier version, throw on some pulled pork or grilled chicken.
