What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with avocado oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Spread potatoes on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
  4. While potatoes roast, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, seasoning with salt and pepper; drain any excess fat and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, cook the diced onion over medium-low heat with a splash of avocado oil for 10-15 minutes, stirring often, until deeply golden and caramelized.
  6. Spread the roasted potatoes onto a large platter, sprinkle generously with organic cheddar cheese, and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes just until the cheese begins to melt.
  7. Top with the seasoned beef and caramelized onions.
  8. Stir together the spread ingredients in a small bowl and drizzle over the finished dish before serving.

FAQ

Can I substitute garlic powder for fresh garlic?

While fresh garlic is preferable, using garlic powder in this recipe will still yield flavorful results. However, using fresh garlic enhances the dish's natural aroma and taste.

Is Greek yogurt necessary for the sauce?

Yes, Greek yogurt adds a creamy texture and tangy flavor that complements the fries. Substituting with other options may alter the final taste and consistency.
