These loaded fries are a delightful combination of crispy French fries topped with rich cheese, savory bacon, and zesty ranch flavor, perfect for snacking or as a party appetizer.
Ingredients
1 bag frozen French fries
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 packet dry ranch seasoning
1 cup crispy bacon bits
1 cup shredded cheese
to taste salt
Method
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for cooking.
Take a large bowl and pour in the frozen French fries.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil with ranch seasoning until they are well blended. Drizzle this mixture over the fries and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated. Add in crispy bacon pieces and a dash of salt, mixing again to combine everything.
Place the seasoned fries into the air fryer basket and cook them for 7 minutes. After that, shake the basket and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
When the fries turn golden brown and crispy, sprinkle a hefty layer of shredded cheese on top and let it cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
Using a spatula, transfer the loaded cheesy fries to a serving plate and enjoy them hot.
