    Ingredients

    Potatoes and Kumara (Sweat potatoes): I am using a combination of potatoes and sweet potato fries for a nutrient-rich texture and flavor variety. You can use both or skip any of them as per your choice. You can also choose to use frozen fries to make the process easy.

    Sriracha Sauce: Fries are topped with a generous amount of Sriracha sauce. It will give a delicious spicy and tangy taste to the oven-baked fries base. If you want to make it less spicy or kids friendly you can substitute it with BBQ sauce.  

    Corn Starch: It helps to absorb moisture from fries and gives them a crispy coating.

    Loaded Fries Toppings 

    There is never a hard and fast rule for toppings of loaded fries. You can simply put anything of your choice as long as you maintain a balance of flavors and textures. Just keep in mind do not overload it with high water content veggies as it will make your fries soggy. As they are loaded vegan fries so I kept the toppings all vegan. The topping used in this loaded fries recipe are 

    • Onion, Tomatoes, Baby Spinach   
    • Baby Corn, Olives, Jalapeno Peppers pickle 
    • Pizza Sauce, BBQ Sauce   
    • Dairy-free cheese and Vegan Parmesan
    • Avocado slices or guacamole. 

    Other Vegan Topping for Loaded Fries

    The sky's the limit when it comes to loaded fries. Depending on personal preference and creativity, additional toppings can include  

    • Plant-based meat mince
    • Meatless Crumbles
    • Mushrooms 
    • Guacamole 
    • Salsa 
    • Black beans 
    • Caramelized onions 
    • Vegan Bacon Bits
    • Bell peppers 
    • Fresh Herbs  
    • Pickles and much more 

    How To Make Vegan Loaded Fries

    To make the perfect loaded fries follow the step-by-step instructions.

    1. Preparation
    • Preheat the oven to 400F.
    • Prepare the potatoes and sweet potatoes wash the potatoes and sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.  
    • Once cleaned, towel dry them to remove excess moisture. You can choose to peel the potatoes and sweet potatoes if desired, but leaving the peel on adds extra texture and flavor. Cut them into rectangle strips, aiming for approximately ½-inch-thick pieces. 
    1. Season the Potatoes
    • Spread the potatoes over a baking dish, season them with olive oil, sriracha sauce, salt, garlic powder, and cornstarch. This mixture will give the potato strips a delicious and crispy coating.
    • Carefully and gently mix the fries using your hands. Toss and coat the fries with your hands until you see that the seasoning is evenly distributed. This helps ensure that every fry gets a good amount of flavor.

    1. Bake
    • Arrange the seasoned potato strips on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potato strips turn nicely golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary. 
    1. Add Topping
    • Add toppings Once the potato strips are done baking, remove them from the oven.
    • Now it's time to add the delicious toppings. Start with fresh veggies like scattering chopped onions, tomatoes, spinach leaves, and chopped baby corn.

    1. More Topping
    • Next add more texture and flavors by adding more toppings like sliced olives, jalapeno peppers for spice, and some pickles over the potato strips. You can adjust the quantity of each topping according to your preference. 
    1. Flavor with Sauces
    • Flavor with the sauce you have in hand. We are using pizza sauce, bbq sauce, and ketchup. Squeeze a generous amount of sauce over the toppings, spreading them evenly across the dish.
    • You can also use mayo garlic, aioli, vegan cheese sauce, or any of the desired sauces you like.

    1. Make it Cheesy
    • Next, add a layer of dairy-free cheese and sprinkle some vegan parmesan on top. The combination of sauces and cheese will enhance the flavors and create a mouthwatering cheesy and tangy taste. 
    1. The Final Bake
    • Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the vegetables are tender. This will ensure that the toppings are heated through and the cheese has melted and become gooey. 
    • Add avocado Once the dish is done baking, carefully remove it from the oven. To add a creamy touch, top the loaded potato strips with some ripe avocado. You can either slice or mash the avocado and place it on top of the dish.

    Serve your oven-baked loaded fries immediately while they're still warm and at their prime. These loaded fries make an excellent appetizer for gatherings, a delicious snack for movie nights, or even a satisfying main course paired with a fresh salad. 

    What to Serve with Loaded Fries 

    Loaded fries can be a delicious and indulgent dish on their own, but if you're looking to serve them with some complementary items, here are a few suggestions: 

    1. Dipping Sauces: Offer a variety of dipping sauces to accompany the loaded fries. Classic options like ketchup, Spicy Tahini, Hot Buffalo, or Garlic Tahini can be great choices. You can also get creative with spicy mayo, chipotle sauce, or barbecue sauce. 
    2. Side Salad: Balance out the richness of the loaded fries with a refreshing side salad. Bowl of delicious Spinach salad. A simple green salad with mixed lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and a light vinaigrette dressing can provide a nice contrast in flavors and textures. 
    3. Coleslaw: Coleslaw can be a fantastic side dish to serve with loaded fries. Its creamy and tangy nature complements the flavors of the fries well. opt for a vegan coleslaw with cabbage and carrots or experiment with variations like apple slaw or spicy coleslaw. 
    4. Burgers or Sandwiches: If you want to make it a complete meal, consider serving loaded fries alongside burgers or sandwiches. The combination of a juicy burger or a flavorful sandwich with savory loaded fries can be a satisfying and indulgent feast. 
    5. Refreshing Beverages: Pair the loaded fries with refreshing beverages like iced tea, lemonade, or soda.

    Remember, the choice of sides depends on your personal preferences and the overall theme of the meal. Feel free to mix and match these suggestions or explore other options to create a well-rounded and satisfying dining experience. 

    Storage and Reheating  

    The quality of reheated loaded fries may not be as good as when they were freshly made but still, if you have leftovers refrigerate them in air tight jar or in foil paper. Consume them within one or two days.  

    For reheating transfer, them to a baking dish and reheat them at 350F for 7 to 10 minutes.

    Instructions

    • Pour over oil and sriracha sauce, and toss with salt, garlic powder, and cornstarch.

    Notes

    1. Choose the thick-cut fries or steak fries, as they provide a sturdy base to hold the toppings without getting soggy. Avoid thin-cut fries, as they may not be able to support the weight of the toppings.
    2. Whether you're making homemade fries or using frozen ones, make sure they are cooked until they are crispy and golden brown. Undercooked fries can become limp and won't hold up well under the toppings.
    3. Be creative and choose toppings that complement each other.
    4.  Loaded fries are best enjoyed immediately after assembling and heating. This ensures the fries retain their crispiness and the toppings remain warm and flavorful. Serve them as soon as they are ready for the best experience.
