Fries

Method

Preparing Fries

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package, typically around 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle vegetable oil over the fries and toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Assembling the Bowl

  1. 4

    Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl or on a serving platter.

  2. 5

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the hot fries, allowing it to melt slightly.

  3. 6

    Add the cooked bacon bits evenly over the cheesy fries.

  4. 7

    If desired, warm the chili in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, then pour it over the cheese and bacon-topped fries.

  5. 8

    Serve the loaded fries with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
