Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 14 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and cut the potatoes into thin fries, about 1/4-inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper until well-coated.
Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
While the fries are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Mix in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, and cumin. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Remove the baked fries from the oven and transfer to a serving platter or leave them on the baking sheet.
Scoop the chili over the baked fries, evenly distributing it.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chili and place the fries back in the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
