Step-by-Step Instructions for Chili Cheese Fries

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, cut them into thick strips (¼ to ½ inch wide).
Pat the potato strips dry, then toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Spread seasoned fries in a single layer on a lined baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Heat your choice of chili in a saucepan over medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
Remove fries from the oven, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, and return to oven for 5 minutes or until melted.
Top fries with warm chili, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped green onions before serving.
