Preheat the oven to 450°F or according to package directions. Place the frozen French fries on a rimmed baking sheet.

4
Whisk in the flour to the skillet with bacon grease. Cook, whisking constantly for ⏱️ 1 minute.
5
Whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, about 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream cheese, mustard, and salt until completely combined.
6
Remove from the heat. Gradually add the cheddar and colby jack cheeses, while whisking, until fully melted and smooth.
7
Remove the fries from oven and place on serving plate. Pour the cheese sauce over the hot fries. Crumble the bacon over the fries and top with pickle chips and chives. Serve immediately alongside ranch dressing.
