Ingredients

  • 4-6 potatoes enough to cover a single layer on a cookie sheet. Potatoes vary in size so start with 4 and then add more if you want more!
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon seasoning salt

Sour Cream/Ranch Sauce:

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ¼ cup milk

Toppings:

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or as much as you like
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled bacon
  • ¼ cup green onions

Instructions

Baked Potato Wedges

  • Cut potatoes into "steak french fries" size or ½ inch fry size.
  • Drizzle potatoes with olive oil and lightly toss with seasoning salt.
  • Place on parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake 400 for 40 minutes or until fork tender

Ranch Cream Sauce

  • In separate bowl mix: sour cream, Ranch dressing and milk.

Loaded Fries

  • While fries are hot top with sour cream ranch sauce.
  • Generously top with cheese. Sprinkle bacon and chives.
  • Place under broiler for a few seconds to re-melt cheese.

Notes

  • Avoid using too much milk to keep the ranch sauce from becoming too thin.
  • Use freshly-shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded, as the anti-caking agents prevent it from melting as well.
  • To keep the fries from becoming soggy, enjoy them immediately after broiling.
