Ingredients

Scale

Fries:

  • 4 large russet potatoes (or frozen fries for convenience)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Toppings:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a cheese blend)
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Sauce:

  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Cut the Potatoes: If using fresh potatoes, cut them into thin fries and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes (optional, but helps make them extra crispy). Season the Fries: Drain and pat the potatoes dry. Toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Bake or Air-Fry: Oven Method: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the fries in a single layer on a lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Air Fryer Method: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can double fry the potatoes.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients.
