Creating Loaded Nacho Fries is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thin fries or wedges, depending on your preference.
3. Season the Fries: In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Bake the Fries: Spread the seasoned fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
5. Add Cheese and Toppings: Once the fries are cooked, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
6. Prepare the Toppings: While the cheese is melting, prepare your toppings: slice jalapeños, dice tomatoes, and chop green onions.
7. Assemble the Loaded Nacho Fries: Once the cheese is melted, remove the fries from the oven. Top them with cooked ground beef or chicken, sour cream, guacamole, jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and green onions.
8. Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor and color.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the loaded nacho fries while they are hot and crispy!
