Ingredients

• 2 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups chili (homemade or canned)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 2 green onions, sliced
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

How to Make Loaded Fries with Chili and Egg

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the cut fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
4. While the fries are baking, prepare the chili if it’s not already ready. Heat it in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through.
5. In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide the eggs into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
6. Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. To assemble, place the loaded fries on a serving platter, top with warm chili, and finish with poached eggs. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and cilantro, if using.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra crispy fries, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before baking.
• Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; this ensures even cooking and crispiness.
• Experiment with different types of cheese for varied flavors.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the cheddar for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Add jalapeños or diced tomatoes for extra freshness.
• Use sweet potato fries for a slightly healthier twist.

What to Serve With It

• A side of guacamole or sour cream for dipping.
• Fresh salad to balance the richness.
• Cold beverages like beer or soda to wash it down.
