Cooking:
Now, spread your wavy potato chips in a single layer on a large baking sheet. You don’t want them overlapping too much, or they won’t bake evenly. Once they’re spread out, generously sprinkle your seasoned cheese over the chips—make sure every chip gets some love.
Next, scatter the chopped bacon on top and add a little extra cheese because… why not? Pop the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

Once they’re done, pull them out of the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. This helps the cheese set so you can break them apart without making a mess.
Serving Suggestions:
Plate those delicious loaded potato chips and serve them with your homemade ranch dip. Seriously, the ranch just takes them to another level. You’ll be hooked after the first bite!
