1
Prepare the Fries
Wash and cut the Russet potatoes into fries. Rinse in cold water and pat dry.
2
Fry the Potatoes
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.
3
Make the Chili
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until onions are translucent.
4
Combine Chili Ingredients
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Assemble the Chili Fries
Place a generous portion of fries on a plate, top with the chili, and sprinkle the shredded cheese blend over the top. Serve immediately.
