Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Lay the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through cooking.
While fries are baking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes.
Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Shred the cheddar cheese if not already shredded, and finely chop the green onions.
Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Sprinkle the baked fries evenly with the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted.
Remove from the oven and add chopped green onions, a sprinkle of salt, and black pepper on top.
Serve immediately with ranch dressing on the side.
