Fries

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep frying pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Once the oil is hot, add the crinkle cut fries in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  2. 2

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with salt to taste while hot.

Making the Chili

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 4

    Add the Meat and Beans

    Stir in the smoked beef brisket, canned kidney beans, and diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine.

  3. 5

    Season the Chili

    Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the ingredients evenly.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Dish

  1. 7

    Layer the Fries

    On a serving plate, create a base layer of the crispy fries.

  2. 8

    Top with Chili

    Spoon a generous portion of the smoked beef brisket chili over the fries.

  3. 9

    Add Cheese and Onion

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili, followed by diced red onion.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Top with sour cream if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
