Instructions
- 1Cook the bacon (try one of my easy cooking methods listed below). When cool enough to handle, chop and set aside.
- 2Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Peel and cut the potatoes. Place in a large bowl, then toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, and cayenne.
- 3Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray, then spread the fries onto the sheet in a single layer. Bake 15 minutes, flip with a spatula, then bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly crisp.
- 4While the fries are baking, heat the ranch dip in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, just until warm. Toss with chicken to coat.
