Instructions
Creating Loaded Fries with Bacon, Cheddar, and Ranch Dressing is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into thick fries or wedges.
3. Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the potato pieces with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well-coated.
4. Bake the Fries: Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Add Cheese and Bacon: Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the top.
6. Melt the Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Drizzle with Ranch: Remove from the oven and drizzle ranch dressing over the loaded fries.
8. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle with chopped green onions for a pop of color and added flavor.
