Step-by-Step Instructions for Loaded Fries
  1. Dice the raw bacon into 1-inch pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (8-10 minutes). Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) according to the frozen fries package instructions.
  3. Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  4. While fries are baking, shred the cheddar cheese and chop the green onions. Aim for 1-2 cups of shredded cheese.
  5. Once fries are out of the oven, season with sea salt and black pepper. Layer bacon, cheddar cheese, and half of the green onions on top.
  6. Return loaded fries to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven, drizzle ranch dressing over the top, and sprinkle remaining green onions before serving.
