Ingredients

  • 1 lb frozen or fresh french fries
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 1/4 cup pickles, chopped
  • 1/2 cup tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Prepare the french fries according to package instructions or bake them in the oven until golden and crispy.
  2. While the fries cook, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.
  3. Press the beef into the skillet so it cooks like a smash burger and develops a browned crust.
  4. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder while cooking.
  5. Once fully cooked and slightly crispy, break the beef into small pieces and set aside.
  6. Place the hot fries on a large serving plate or tray.
  7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the fries so it begins to melt.
  8. Add the cooked smash burger beef evenly over the fries.
  9. Tear the American cheese slices into pieces and place them on top so they melt from the heat.
  10. Top with chopped pickles, diced tomato, red onion, and shredded lettuce.
  11. Drizzle ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise over the loaded fries before serving.

Notes

  • Thick-cut or crinkle-cut fries work best because they hold toppings well.
  • Pepper jack cheese can replace cheddar for a spicy twist.
  • Add jalapeños or spicy sauce for extra heat.
  • Caramelized onions or a fried egg can add extra richness.
  • Serve immediately to keep the fries crispy.
