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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and cut the potatoes into thin fries, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, salt, paprika, and black pepper until well-coated.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the baked fries from the oven and transfer to a serving platter or leave them on the baking sheet.

Step 9

Scoop the chili over the baked fries, evenly distributing it.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
