½ cup sour cream

Instructions
Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure crispy fries.
Bake Fries
Arrange fries in a single layer on a sheet pan. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
Cook Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned. Season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Drain excess fat.

Return dish to oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted.
Add Toppings & Serve
Drizzle sour cream over the fries. Sprinkle with red onion, tomatoes, and parsley or green onions. Serve immediately while hot.

Pat fresh-cut potatoes dry before baking for extra crispiness.
Customize with jalapeños, bacon bits, or hot sauce.
Serve straight from the oven for best texture and flavor.
