They&#8217;d hand you these crinkle cut fries LOADED with Ranch dressing and we&#8217;d inhale\u00a0on our way to and from tennis, it was basically a recipe for success. I haven&#8217;t been back to Tucson in years\u00a0so when I had a craving for these bad boys, I decided to make them myself, up the ante, and really pull out all the tops. So\u00a0Bacon Cheddar Ranch Fries were born.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26072\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hidden-Valley-Ranch-Fries-5-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Bacon Cheddar Ranch Fries from www.whatsgabycooking.com (@whatsgabycookin)\" width=\"870\" height=\"1088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hidden-Valley-Ranch-Fries-5-copy.jpg 870w, https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hidden-Valley-Ranch-Fries-5-copy-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hidden-Valley-Ranch-Fries-5-copy-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.whatsgabycooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Hidden-Valley-Ranch-Fries-5-copy-819x1024.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These are beyond.
