Method
Step 1
We start with bacon. Cut the bacon into strips about ½ inches long and fry in a pan or air fryer to get crispy bacon. I definitely recommend an air fryer. It makes it very easy to prepare semi-finished products for this ultimate snack.
Step 2
Then, we will need crispy fries because they are the basis of this dish. Bake them until golden brown. You can make frozen fries per the package directions. Frozen French fries can be baked in the oven; use a deep fryer, or the best option, in my opinion, is an Air Fryer Frozen French Frise from my recipe.
Step 3
If you like a sheet pan with baking paper, you do not have to grease it with oil.
Step 4
Place the fries on a sheet pan in a single layer.
Step 5
The next step is to arrange crispy bacon bits.
Step 6
In the next step, add onion rings and thin slices of pepper (I recommend not using seeds because they add an extra tangerine flavor).
Step 7
I sprinkle everything with grated cheese in large holes on top of the fries. To make the dish colorful, I start with yellow cheddar and pour it evenly on the baking sheet, partially covering it.
Step 8
In the next step, I sprinkle orange cheese to make a mosaic of two cheeses on the dish. If there is still a need, I add orange cheese where there is too much cheddar.
Step 9
I like dishes to look colorful and appetizing. For me, it is such culinary poetry. This method of adding cheese takes little time than mixing both cheeses and placing them randomly, and it can have a fantastic effect, especially if children also eat the dish. My kids sometimes invent patterns; believe me, they see weird things.
Step 10
Drizzle ranch dressing over everything and sprinkle with chopped green onion. Enjoy!
