A delightful twist on classic cheese fries, featuring a zesty dip and crispy bacon.
Preheat your oven according to the package instructions for the fries.
Preheating ensures the fries cook evenly and achieve maximum crispiness.
Spread the frozen fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake as directed.
For extra crispiness, flip the fries halfway through baking.
While the fries are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
Use a paper towel to blot excess grease from the bacon for a cleaner taste.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing and taco seasoning to create the dip. Set aside.
Chill the dip in the fridge for a more refreshing flavor.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon evenly over the top.
Ensure the fries are hot so the cheese melts quickly.
Return the fries to the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
Keep an eye on the fries to prevent over-melting the cheese.
Serve the loaded fries immediately with the zesty dip on the side.
Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley for added color and flavor.
