Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by washing and peeling 2-3 russet potatoes. Slice them thinly into even sticks, then soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato slices with olive oil, then sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and spread the seasoned fries onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- While your fries are cooking, dice the red onion and green/red bell peppers. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
- Once the fries are golden, layer them with a mix of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and return to the oven for about 5 minutes.
- After the cheese has melted, top the fries with sautéed vegetables, diced jalapeño, and a sprinkle of chili flakes and dried oregano.
- In a mixing bowl, blend together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until creamy.
- Drizzle the creamy sauce generously over the cheesy fries and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve warm.

Notes
