Ingredients
Scale
Gather these ingredients to make your Beef Bacon Cheese Fries with Ranch:
- 4 large russet potatoes (for fries)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 oz beef bacon, chopped
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Fries:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into fries or wedges, ensuring they are of even size for consistent cooking.
- Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Bake the Fries: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Cook the Beef Bacon:
- Cook the Beef Bacon: While the fries are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped beef bacon and cook until it becomes crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Cheese Fries:
- Add Cheese to Fries: Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese generously over the hot fries.
- Melt the Cheese: Return the fries to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Top with Beef Bacon and Ranch:
- Add Beef Bacon: Sprinkle the crispy beef bacon evenly over the cheese-covered fries.
- Drizzle with Ranch: Drizzle the ranch dressing over the fries or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle chopped green onions and fresh parsley over the top for added flavor and color.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the cheese is melted and gooey. Enjoy the ultimate comfort food!
