Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Ranch dressing
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thin, even strips about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato strips with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none of them overlap. For maximum crispiness, use two baking sheets if necessary.

Step 5

Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. Continue baking until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the fries are baking, warm the buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until it’s slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Once the fries are done baking, transfer them to an oven-safe serving platter or sheet. Drizzle the warm buffalo sauce over the fries, ensuring even coverage.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the buffalo-coated fries and return the platter to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Remove the loaded buffalo fries from the oven and drizzle the ranch dressing over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with crumbled bacon, thinly sliced green onions, and chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately while the fries are hot and crispy. Enjoy!
