Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup potato, idaho 4 cut lengthwise into 6 wedges
2 tablespoons grill seasoning
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus additional, divided (EVOO)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus additional, divided (EVOO)
2 -2 1/2 lbs lean ground sirloin, turkey or 2 -2 1/2 lbs chicken
onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons about 2 palmfuls chili powder
2 teaspoons half a palmful ground cumin
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons tomato paste
hot sauce, to taste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups beef stock or 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 cup milk
1 cup chicken stock
1 1/2-2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
1 seedless cucumber, chopped
additional extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle them with the grill seasoning and a good drizzle of EVOO. Toss to coat, then transfer to the oven and roast, until crispy golden brown, about 40 minutes. Turn them once halfway through cooking time.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, place a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons EVOO, about 2 turns of the pan. Add the ground meat to the pan and cook until brown, about 6-7 minutes, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks using a potato masher or back of a wooden spoon.
  • Push the meat to one side of the pan and add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, chili powder and cumin to the pot. Cook until the veggies soften, 5-6 minutes, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add the tomato paste to the pot and cook for about 1 minute, until it smells sweet and has caramelized slightly. Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire and beer or stock to the pot. Bring everything up to a bubble, then reduce the heat and simmer the chili until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • While the chili is simmering, place a medium-size pot over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and cook it for about a minute. Stir the mustard into the butter-flour mixture, then whisk in the milk and stock. Continue whisking the sauce until it has thickened up, then remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cheese until melted. Season the cheese sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper and reserve.
  • In a large salad bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup EVOO along with the red wine vinegar, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the lettuce and cucumber to the bowl and toss to combine. To serve, divide the fries between four plates and top each one with some chili-cheese sauce and some salad alongside.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your chili fries will taste. This is especially true for the chili and the fries.
  • Make your own chili. It's easy to make your own chili, and it will taste much better than store-bought chili. There are many different chili recipes available, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in chili fries, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese is a popular choice, but you can also use mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack cheese.
  • Don't overcook the fries. The fries should be cooked until they are crispy, but not overcooked. Overcooked fries will be soggy and will not taste good.
  • Serve the chili fries immediately. Chili fries are best served immediately after they are made. This is when they are the crispiest and the chili is the hottest.

Conclusion:

Chili fries are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, or they can be served as a side dish at a party. No matter how you serve them, chili fries are sure to be a hit!
