Chicken Bacon Ranch Fries

Place rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a baking rack on top. Lay the strips of bacon flat on top of the rack, then bake until crisp, about 12-15 minutes, depending upon the thickness of your bacon. Remove pan from oven. Set bacon strips between two paper towels atop a dinner plate and pat dry. When cool enough to handle, chop and set aside. Increase oven temperature to 425 F.

Meanwhile, peel and cut the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick matchsticks. Place them in a large bowl, then toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, and cayenne. Coat 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 10-15 minutes, until lightly crisp.

While the fries are baking, heat the ranch dip in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, just until warm. Toss with the chicken to coat it.

Remove fries from oven and top with the chicken, cheddar, mozzarella, and bacon. Return to the oven until the cheese melts, 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven and top with chives. Serve immediately.
