Method

Preparation of Loaded Fries

  1. 1

    Cook the Fries

    Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the frozen French fries package. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for the recommended time until golden and crispy.

  2. 2

    Add Toppings

    Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the cheddar cheese blend evenly over the hot fries. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Remove the fries from the oven and immediately top with chopped scallions and cooked bacon bits.

Preparation of Ranch Dressing

  1. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, dried dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

  2. 5

    Chill

    Refrigerate the ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
