Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 28 oz frozen French fries about one large bag
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.75 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup cayenne hot sauce Buffalo-style
- 2 cup cooked shredded chicken rotisserie works great
- 1.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 0.75 cup shredded Monterey Jack
- 0.25 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 0.5 cup cooked crumbled bacon optional but tasty
- 0.33 cup ranch dressing for drizzling
- 0.5 cup sliced green onions
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat two large sheet pans inside while the oven warms.
- Toss frozen fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Spread fries on the hot pans in even layers. Bake until starting to brown, about 15 minutes.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in hot sauce to make a smooth Buffalo sauce.
- Toss shredded chicken with half of the Buffalo sauce; reserve the rest for drizzling.
- Flip fries and bake until deeply crisp, 8–10 minutes more.
- Pile fries onto one pan. Top with sauced chicken, cheddar, and Monterey Jack. Drizzle remaining sauce.
- Return to oven until cheese melts and bubbles, 3–5 minutes.
- Finish with blue cheese, bacon, ranch, green onions, and parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
Swap the chicken for crispy tofu or cauliflower for a meatless twist, or finish with blue cheese dressing instead of ranch. To reheat leftovers, broil briefly to re-crisp the fries and re-melt the cheese.
