Ingredients
4 large russet potatoes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup halal-friendly ingredient (such as grilled chicken, turkey bacon, or sautéed mushrooms)
¼ cup spicy ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.
- Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the Fries: Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Add Cheese: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and return to the oven for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Prepare the Toppings: While the fries are baking, slice the green onions and prepare the halal-friendly ingredient.
- Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the fries from the oven. Drizzle with sour cream, top with sliced green onions, the halal-friendly topping, and spicy ranch dressing.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Add additional spices if desired, and serve immediately while hot and crispy!
Notes
For extra heat, increase the cayenne pepper, add a dash of hot sauce, or sprinkle chopped fresh chilies on top before serving.
For a vegetarian version, skip the halal-friendly meat or add extra veggies like jalapeños or bell peppers.
Use any cheese that melts well, like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella for different flavors.
For a lighter version, bake without cheese or use a lighter version of sour cream.
