Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 to 1 1/4 pounds frozen seasoned curly fries
1 1/2 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack blend
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 cup half-and-half, plus more as needed
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1/4 cup crumbled French-fried onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Sriracha, for dotting or drizzling

Steps:

Preheat the oven and bake the curly fries according to package directions.
Meanwhile, toss the cheese and cornstarch together in a small saucepan, then add the half-and-half. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add a little more half-and-half to loosen the sauce if needed.
Put the curly fries on a serving plate. Drizzle with the cheese sauce and ranch dressing and sprinkle with the bacon, onions and cilantro. Dot or drizzle with sriracha to taste.
