Instructions
Step 1: Bake the frozen French fries according to package instructions until crispy.
Step 2: While the fries bake, cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Season with paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and crumbled; drain excess fat.
Step 3: Once the fries are ready, transfer them to an oven-safe dish or sheet pan. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the fries, then top with the cooked beef and the remaining cheese.
Step 4: Return to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Remove from oven and top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, red onion, and parsley or cilantro.
Storage Information
Loaded fries are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to help restore crispiness (avoid microwaving, which can make them soggy).
