Ingredients
  

4 large Russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup chili con carne (canned or homemade)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into 1/4-inch wide fries.

    Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the fries with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

      Bake the Fries: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

        Heat the Chili: While the fries are baking, heat your chili in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. If using homemade chili, ensure it’s well-seasoned and flavorful.

          Assemble: Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Top It Off: Remove the cheesy fries from the oven and spoon the warm chili generously over the top. Drizzle the sour cream across the chili, and then sprinkle with chopped green onions and pickled jalapeños if desired.

              Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch, garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot and enjoy your Cheesy Chili Bliss Fries!
