I duplicated this recipe from one my family loves at T-Bones Steakhouse in Charleston, SC. I have no idea why they are called Tommy Fries. They are served at the steakhouse as an appetizer.

I just love the Tommy fries at T-Bonz. We look forward to going there every year when we go to Myrtle Beach. This was a good copy cat. I used seasoning salt on my potatoes as well as salt and pepper. I used a jar of the "good stuff" ranch dressing. I loved it prepared just as written. My niece said it was even better because I wasn't stingy with the ranch!

    I didn't put the ranch on top but on the side and added some chopped jalapeno. I also used turkey bacon instead of regular. I topped the fries with seasoned salt as that is what I'm used to in the restaurants. Great recipe and definitely now a family fave!

    Oh man, was this good! Rich and tasty - and low fat, too! Ok, so two out of three's not bad. Seriously, quite easy and really really delicious! I pretty much stuck to the recipe except I put half the potatoes down on the ranch then sprinkled a handful of cheese then put the rest of the potatoes down and then the rest of the cheese. I ended up with the bacon on top. I was afraid the ranch on the bottom of the platter would go to waste but the potatoes sort of draw it up into them. We were scraping our plates clean to get every morsel. Extremely yummy - a real husband pleaser! Thanks, Kim, for a great dish! I'm uploading a picture so everyone can see how yummy it is!

    Yeah Baby is right. We made ourselves sick off these. The cheese, bacon and ranch made for a great combination. Give Tommy a big ole smooch from me. Yummy to the third. Thanks Kim
