From the crispy fries, to the spicy chorizo, to the melted cheese, this recipe will have you fighting for the last bite!

Ingredients

• 3 large russet potatoes
• 1 cup plant-based chorizo
• 1/2 a fresh jalapeno
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 green onions
• 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Vegan Ranch Dressing (optional)

• 1 cup vegenaise
• 1/4 cup oat milk
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp dill
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Next, wash off your potatoes and slice them into a french fry shape. The way I prefer to do this is to cut the ends off, slice the potato short-ways every inch or so to make round slices, then cut those across 2 or 3 times to make fries that aren't too long or thick.
3. Then toss your potato slices with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
4. Spread the slices out evenly on parchment paper, and bake for 30 minutes, giving them a quick stir halfway through. Feel free to cook them longer if you would like them more crispy.
5. While the fries are cooking, add your chorizo (frozen) to a skillet on medium high for 5 minutes.
6. Once the fries are done, take the pan out of the oven and top them with the chorizo and the mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Place back in the oven on high broil for 2 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
7. Remove the pan from the oven. Slice the jalapenos and green onions and add to the top, along with the ranch dressing.
8. Enjoy!
