Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (8.5 oz) bag wavy potato chips
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning
- 1 lb bacon, cooked and chopped
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
- Ranch or sour cream, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the wavy potato chips evenly on a large baking sheet and set aside.
- Prepare Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese with ranch seasoning. Sprinkle this cheese mixture evenly over the potato chips on the baking sheet, then sprinkle the cooked, chopped bacon on top.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped green onions. Let cool for 2 to 3 minutes so the cheese can solidify slightly.
- Serve: Break the cheesy chip mixture into bite-sized pieces and serve warm. Optionally, provide ranch dressing or sour cream on the side for dipping to add extra flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese like Monterey Jack or a blend for different flavors.
- For crispier bacon, cook it longer before chopping.
- If you want a spicier kick, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or chili flakes over the cheese before baking.
- Best served fresh out of the oven to retain the crispy cheese texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly to regain crispiness, but this snack is best enjoyed freshly made.
