How To Make Ah-Mazing Loaded Fries
Start by grabbing a bag of your favorite frozen fries. Crinkle fries (traditional or sweet potato variety) are great for loading up with toppings.
Next, adjusting the cooking rack in your toaster oven to the lowest position and preheat according to the directions on your bag.
Place a metal oven-safe baking rack inside a rimmed toaster oven-sized pan.
Season the fries by combining in a large bowl:
- 8 ounces frozen fries
- 2 teaspoons oil*
- 1/4 teaspoon each dried oregano, cumin, garlic powder, fine sea salt, and black pepper.
* To reduce the amount of oil, you can spray the fries lightly with oil or cooking spray instead.
Stir everything well to coat and then arrange the fries in an even layer on the metal rack.
Bake in your toaster oven according to the package directions until crispy.
While the fries bake prepare the yogurt sauce by whisking together 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder until smooth. Then, stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley.
Give the sauce a taste and add salt, pepper, and more garlic or lemon as desired.
Once your fries are baked, it’s time to load them up with all the goodies:
- Place half of the baked fries on a plate
- Dollop with half of the yogurt
- Sprinkle with half of the toppings
- Repeat to create a second layer with the remaining fries, sauce, and toppings
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley
- Add lemon wedges for squeezing
- and dig in!
