The Flavorful Journey of Buffalo Ranch Fries
Buffalo Ranch Fries are a delicious blend of two iconic American foods: buffalo wings and crispy fries. The roots of buffalo sauce trace back to the early 1960s in Buffalo, New York, where Teressa Bellissimo created the sauce for chicken wings at the Anchor Bar. This simple mixture of hot sauce, butter, and spices quickly gained popularity, becoming a staple in bars nationwide.
As chicken fries became a beloved snack, creative combinations flourished. The fusion of spicy buffalo sauce and crispy fries emerged as a natural evolution, leading to the creation of buffalo ranch fries wingstop. The addition of creamy ranch dressing elevates the flavor profile, making these fries a perfect blend of spicy and creamy.
Ingredients Used to Make Buffalo Ranch Fries
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Get a baking sheet ready with parchment paper so the fries don’t stick.
- Cut the potatoes into thin, even fries. This way, they cook uniformly and get that perfect crispy texture.
- Season the fries in a large bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Give them a good toss so every fry is coated in flavor.
- Spread the fries out on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake them for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they get crispy all over.
- Drizzle the fries with buffalo sauce right after you pull them out of the oven. Make sure they’re well-coated with that spicy goodness.
- Top with ranch dressing. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.
- Dig in and enjoy your perfectly spicy, creamy, and crispy fries!

Tips for Making the Best Buffalo Ranch Fries
- Soak for Extra Crispiness: For an even crispier texture, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to remove excess starch, leading to crunchier fries.
- Adjust Spice Levels: If you're sensitive to spice, start with a smaller amount of buffalo sauce and gradually add more to your taste. You can always spice it up later!
- Try Different Dips: While ranch dressing is classic, feel free to experiment with other dips like blue cheese dressing or a creamy garlic dip for added flavor.
These buffalo fries are sure to be a hit at any gathering. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your ingredients and let’s get frying! If you try this recipe, I’d love to hear how it turns out. Happy cooking!
