Making Buffalo Chicken Fries can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into fry shapes or wedges.
3. Season the Fries: In a bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure they are evenly coated.
4. Baking the Fries: Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
5. Cook the Chicken: While the fries are baking, cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Add salt and pepper, cooking until fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes).
6. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and mix it with the buffalo sauce in a bowl.
7. Assemble the Dish: Once the fries are baked, remove them from the oven. On top of the fries, layer the buffalo chicken mixture.
8. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken.
9. Melt the Cheese: Return the loaded fries to the oven for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing. Finally, garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired.
