Instructions

1. 1Peel and cut the russet potatoes into ¼-inch-thick fries, then toss in a large bowl with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, fresh dill, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.
2. 2Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes, then add the coated potatoes in a single layer. Cook 8–10 minutes without stirring, until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, then stir and cook another 6–8 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the fries are tender inside and golden at the edges.
3. 3While the potatoes cook, heat the Greek yogurt ranch dip in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes until warm and pourable.
4. 4Toss the cooked chicken breast (chopped or shredded) with the warm ranch dip until fully coated.
5. 5Transfer the cooked fries to a large serving platter or divide evenly into 4 shallow airtight containers while hot. Top with the ranch-coated chicken, sharp cheddar, and part-skim mozzarella.
6. 6If using a platter, transfer to a skillet or covered pan and warm over low heat for 3–5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly; if portioning in containers, cover loosely and let residual heat melt the cheese for 2–3 minutes.
7. 7Top each portion with the cooked bacon (chopped) and fresh chives.
8. 8Allow to cool to room temperature before sealing containers; refrigerate for up to 3 days and reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through.
