Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag (1 lb) frozen French fries or hand-cut russet potatoes

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup crumbled bacon (optional)

  • 1/4 cup diced pickled jalapeños

  • 2 tbsp green onions, chopped

  • 2 tbsp ranch dressing

  • 2 tbsp hot sauce (like Louisiana or Crystal)

  • Cajun seasoning to taste

Instructions

  • Bake or fry your fries until golden and crispy.

  • While they’re hot, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and toss to coat evenly.

  • Spread fries on a plate or tray. Top with cheese, bacon, and jalapeños.

  • Pop under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until cheese melts.

  • Drizzle ranch and hot sauce over the top.

  • Sprinkle with green onions and serve immediately!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak fresh-cut fries in water for 30 mins, then dry before frying or baking.

  • Adjust the heat with more or less jalapeños or hot sauce.

  • Want it vegetarian? Skip the bacon—it’s just as tasty!
