Ingredients

For the Fries
  • 2 lb Russet Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
For the Chili
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1/2 Medium Yellow Onion, Finely Diced
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 8 oz Tomato Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Beef Broth
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
For the Cheese Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Dairy Free Butter
  • 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/4 cups Unsweetened Oat Milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Dairy Free Shredded Cheddar
  • 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 Pinch Cayenne Pepper
For Serving
  • 2 Green Onions, Sliced
  • 1 Jalapeno, Thinly Sliced

Instructions

  1. Cut the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick fries and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Drain the fries and dry them very well with a towel. Toss with the cornstarch, olive oil, and salt, then spread them in a single layer across both baking sheets.
    Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
  3. While the fries bake, brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium high heat for 7-8 minutes. Drain the excess fat, then stir in the garlic, chili powder, and cumin for 1 minute.
    Add the tomato sauce, beef broth, and salt, and simmer for 15 minutes until thick.
  4. For the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the oat milk and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
    Lower the heat and whisk in the dairy free cheddar a handful at a time, then add the nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne until silky smooth.
  5. Pile the hot fries onto a platter, spoon the chili over the top, and drizzle generously with the cheese sauce. Finish with green onions and jalapeno slices and serve right away.
