Cheeseburger Loaded Fries Tasty Comfort Food Dish
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 2 diced red onion
- 1 2 pickles, chopped
- 1 4 mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- to taste fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the cut russet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Spread the fries in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the cooked ground beef evenly on top. Follow with the shredded cheddar cheese; return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the loaded fries from the oven. Immediately top with diced tomatoes, red onion, and pickles.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Drizzle this dressing over the loaded fries for extra flavor.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the loaded fries directly from the baking sheet or transfer them to a large serving platter. Offer extra dressing on the side for dipping, and add small bowls of additional toppings for a DIY twist at the table!
