Recipes:
Cheesy Beef Fries with Pickles
Ingredients:
For the fries:
4 large russet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
For the beef topping:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the garnish:
1/2 cup pickles, sliced
2 tbsp green onions, chopped
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
(optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the fries:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and slice the potatoes into thin strips. Toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
Cook the beef:
While the fries are baking, heat a pan over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add chopped onion, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the onions are softened. Remove from heat.
Assemble the dish:
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving plate. Top with the seasoned ground beef mixture, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Optionally, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Garnish and serve:
After the cheese has melted, garnish with sliced pickles and chopped green onions.
