Equipment

Ingredients

20 ounces frozen fries your favorite style
3 slices bacon cooked crumbled
4 ounces cheddar jack cheese shredded
1 cup Ranch dressing
½ package taco seasoning or 1 heaping tablespoon homemade

Instructions

Cook fries per package instructions. Baked is fine, but deep-fried is better!
Meanwhile make the sauce by whisking the Ranch and taco seasoning together in a medium bowl.
Arrange fries on a heat-proof platter. I like to use small cast iron skillets.
Sprinkle fries with bacon and cheese. Place platter in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
Drizzle with the Ranch dressing mix and serve.

Notes

Substitute blue cheese dressing for a nice twist!
