Buffalo Fries are a delicious treat combining hot, crispy french fries with tangy buffalo sauce, creamy ranch dressing, and savory blue cheese crumbles. They pack all the amazing flavors of buffalo chicken wings into a fun fry dish, making them perfect for game day, a casual snack, or a movie night.
The mix of spicy buffalo sauce, tangy ranch, and flavorful blue cheese is simply irresistible. It’s like enjoying buffalo chicken wings but without the mess of wings! If you’re feeling extra hungry, you can even add some shredded rotisserie chicken on top, just like I do with Lemon Feta Fries.
While frozen fries work best for this recipe, you can use fresh fries if you prefer. Just remember to adjust the cooking time. If you’re not a fan of spicy food, use less buffalo sauce or opt for a mild or medium wing sauce. You can also skip the buffalo sauce and sprinkle some fry seasoning instead.
These fries are best enjoyed right after cooking for maximum crispiness. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. When reheating, use the oven or air fryer to help restore some of the crispiness, but keep in mind they might not be as crispy as when they were first made because the sauces can make the fries a bit soggy.

Can I Use Fresh Potatoes Instead Of Frozen Fries?
Yes, you can use fresh potatoes if you prefer. To make your fries, peel and cut the potatoes into thin strips. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat them dry. You can bake them in a single layer on a baking sheet at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until they’re crispy. For extra crispiness, you can also deep fry them.
How Can I Keep the Fries Crispy After Topping Them?
To keep your fries crispy after adding the toppings, serve them immediately after drizzling with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. If you need to prepare them ahead of time, consider baking the fries separately and adding the toppings just before serving. If you’re making a large batch, you might want to keep the fries warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C) until you’re ready to add the toppings and serve.
