Total Time:
6 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 bag wavy potato chips
- 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning
- 8 oz block yellow cheddar, shredded
- 10 strips cooked bacon, roughly chopped
- 1 cup sour cream (for dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- In a medium bowl, mix shredded cheddar cheese with half of the ranch seasoning. The remaining half? Stir it into your sour cream for the perfect dipping sauce.
- Spread potato chips out on a large baking sheet. Keep them close together but not piled up—you want every chip to get some of that cheesy goodness.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the chips, then top with chopped bacon and more cheese.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes, just until the cheese melts and gets a little crispy.
- Let it cool for 2-3 minutes so the cheese can harden slightly. This step is crucial for getting those crunchy, cheesy bites.
- Break apart the chips, plate them up, and serve with your ranch sour cream dip.
