Recipe of Chili Cheese Fries

Ingredients:

For The Fries:

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2-3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• salt to taste

For The Chili:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsps tomato paste
• ½ cup beef or chicken broth
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• salt and pepper to taste

For Toppings:

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
• sour cream (optional)
• Jalapeño slices (optional)

Instructions:

• Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips or wedges for fries. Soak the potato strips in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean towel.                                                                                                                          
• Heat the vegetable oil in your SENSARTE Nonstick Deep Frying Pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.                                                                                                                                                   
• Fry the potatoes in small batches, ensuring they don’t overcrowd the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.                                                                                                                 
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries onto a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt while hot.                                                                                                                                                                             
• In the same SENSARTE Nonstick Deep Frying Pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.                                                                                                                                                                                                     
• Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.                                                                                                                                                        
• Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and beef broth. Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer the chili for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.                                                                                                             
• Preheat your oven to 375°F.                                                                                                                                                                                     
• Arrange the cooked fries in an oven-safe dish or baking sheet. Top the fries with the prepared chili.                                                                                                                                                                                            
• Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the chili. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
• Remove the dish from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions, sour cream, and jalapeño slices, if desired.
