Sweet Potato Loaded Chili Cheese Fries
Love chili cheese fries but fancy a change? These sweet potato chilli fries are fully loaded with a Mexican chili and topped with sour cream and the meltiest cheese. Super quick to assemble and cook! The perfect game day grub.
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes chopped into wedges
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 300 g serving of chilli the amount can vary
- 40 g grated cheese cheddar, mozzarella...
- 1 spring onion diced (optional)
- 2 tbsp sour cream optional
Instructions
- Make sure you have pre-made a batch of chilli for this recipe. Got a portion in the freezer? Go defrost it now!
- Once your chili is ready, begin by roasting your sweet potato wedges. Chop them up, throw them in a baking tray and drizzle with oil. Bake in a hot oven at 170°c fan/190°c for 30 minutes, or until crispy.
- Leave them the pan or distribute them to the oven-proof pan you'd like to serve them in. I covered the bottom of mine with a check patterned baking paper. You can use normal baking parchment too. Next, spoon over the chili con carne and sprinkle over the grated cheddar (or mozzarella - whatever you have in the fridge!)
- Put the tray back in the oven to melt the cheese - about 5 minutes. Top with chopped spring onions, sour cream, jalapeños - whatever toppings you fancy! Dig in!
Notes
Storage - If you have leftovers (this would be rare!!) make sure you cool them down quickly and store in a sealed container in the fridge. It will keep for a day. Do not proceed to re-heat a third time though if using chilli leftovers for this recipe. If the chilli is freshly made, this is ok (see below).
Re-heating - If you have made your chilli fresh then you can re-heat but you MUST make sure you re-heat until the mince is piping hot.
It is recommended for meat to be re-heated to a minimum of 70°c. Make sure you stir half way through to achieve an even re-heat.
You must not heat your chilli more than twice. If you’re using chlli leftovers for this recipe then your chilli would have already been heated twice. Do not attempt to heat a third time.
Freezing - I would only recommend freezing if using fresh chilli because of course you won’t want to re-heat a third time once defrosted.
This dish is best enjoyed fresh though!
