Ingredients
  

Potato chip base
  • 4 russet potatoes Slice paper-thin for maximum crispness.
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil Used to cook the chips on the griddle.
  • 1 salt Season the chips immediately after cooking.
Toppings
  • 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Sprinkle so it melts evenly over the hot chips.
  • 1 cup cooked bacon Crumble before topping.
  • 0.5 cup sour cream Dollop or spoon over chips.
  • 0.25 cup green onions Slice and scatter as a fresh finish.
  • 1 jalapeño slices Use to taste.
  • 1 ranch dressing Drizzle just before serving.

Equipment

  • 1 griddle

Method
 

Cook the chips on the Blackstone
  1. Heat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high and add the vegetable oil.
  2. Arrange the paper-thin russet potato slices in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until crispy and golden, flipping when the edges are set.
  3. Remove the chips and immediately season with salt while hot, so the seasoning sticks.
Melt cheese and build loaded chips
  1. Arrange the hot chips on a large platter and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  2. Melt the cheese by using a kitchen torch or by returning to the griddle with a dome cover until melted (aim for a glossy, fully melted surface).
  3. Top with the cooked bacon, sour cream, green onions, jalapeño slices, and finish with a ranch dressing drizzle.

Notes

For the crispest chips, slice the potatoes very thin and keep the slices in a single layer with space so steam can escape. Serve right away for best crunch; leftovers keep in the fridge up to 2 days, but toppings may soften the chips. Freezing isn’t recommended because crispness won’t fully return after thawing. Dietary swap: use a plant-based cheese substitute to keep the loaded format while reducing dairy.
