Preparation Time<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Prep time:<\/strong> 20 minutes<\/li>\n
  • Cook time:<\/strong> 50 minutes<\/li>\n
  • Total time:<\/strong> 1 hour 10 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions<\/h4>\n

    1. Prepare the Fries:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Preheat your oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C).<\/li>\n
    • Slice the russet potatoes into even-sized fries, about 1\/4-inch thick.<\/li>\n
    • Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper to coat evenly.<\/li>\n
    • Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.<\/li>\n
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden and crispy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      2. Make the Chili:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • While the fries are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.<\/li>\n
      • Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent.<\/li>\n
      • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.<\/li>\n
      • Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Cook until the beef is browned, about 5-7 minutes.<\/li>\n
      • Drain any excess fat from the skillet.<\/li>\n
      • Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper, and cook for another minute.<\/li>\n
      • Add the tomato paste and mix until well incorporated.<\/li>\n
      • Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, and kidney beans. Bring the mixture to a simmer.<\/li>\n
      • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chili cook for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        3. Assemble the Dish:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.<\/li>\n
        • Place a portion of fries on each serving plate.<\/li>\n
        • Spoon the prepared chili generously over the fries.<\/li>\n
        • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.<\/li>\n
        • Add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.<\/li>\n
        • For extra heat and flavor, top with sliced jalape\u00f1os.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
