- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- Half batch carne asada marinade and meat
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons tangy sour cream
- 3 tablespoons fresh guacamole
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Step 2: Fry the Potatoes
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F. Fry the potatoes in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook until golden brown and crispy, typically around 5-7 minutes. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 3: Grill the Carne Asada
Step 4: Assemble the Dish
- Experiment with Marinades: Don't hesitate to try different marinades. Each can bring a unique twist to the flavors.
- Use Frozen Fries: Short on time? Frozen fries can save you. Just bake them according to the package instructions.
- Layer Smartly: For a great presentation, layer toppings gradually. This ensures every bite is well-rounded.
- Spice Level: Adjust the heat to your liking. Use spicy salsa or add jalapeños for a fiery kick.
- Cheese Choices: While cheddar is classic, feel free to mix in Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a fun twist.
