Ingredients

• Frozen French fries: the base of the dish Choose a crinkly or thick-cut fry for more structure and crunch
• Ground beef: offers hearty flavor and turns fries into a meal Look for beef with a moderate fat percentage for the best taste and moisture
• Paprika: brings smoky warmth Opt for fresh spices for maximum flavor
• Garlic powder: deepens savory notes Make sure it is still fragrant and not clumped from age
• Salt and pepper: simple essentials for balanced seasoning Always go for freshly ground pepper if possible
• Shredded cheddar cheese: melts evenly and covers all those fries A sharp cheddar holds up best against the rich toppings
• Sour cream: cool and tangy for contrast Use full-fat for extra creaminess
• Red onion: adds a refreshing bite and color Choose onions that are firm with shiny skin
• Chopped tomatoes (optional): great for a juicy sweet element Only use ripe tomatoes that are not mushy
• Chopped parsley or green onions: a fresh pop of flavor Always use the freshest herbs available
