Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 20 ounces Canned jackfruit in brine
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder

- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Vegan sour cream

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and cut the russet potatoes into thin fries. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, toss the fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
While the fries are baking, drain and rinse the canned jackfruit. Remove any seeds and shred the jackfruit pieces using your fingers or forks.
In a mixing bowl, combine them with soy sauce, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and ground coriander. Ensure the jackfruit is well coated in the marinade.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the jackfruit and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the edges are slightly crispy and the jackfruit is heated through.
Meanwhile, finely chop the red onion and cilantro, slice the avocado, and if using, slice the jalapeño.
Once the fries are ready, sprinkle the vegan cheddar cheese over them and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
Transfer the fries to a serving dish. Top with the cooked jackfruit, chopped red onion, cilantro, avocado slices, and jalapeño slices if using.
Drizzle vegan sour cream over the top and serve immediately.
