# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Get your oven set to 425°F or 220°C so the fries get nice and crispy.
02 -
Put fries spread out on a baking sheet. Bake them 20-25 minutes and flip halfway through so they brown evenly.

Heat up a skillet on medium. Toss in the ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring often until it's nicely browned. Drain off extra fat.
04 -
Move the fries into an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar all over. Then add the cooked beef evenly on top.
05 -
Pop the dish back in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
06 -
Drizzle the sour cream over the hot fries. Then sprinkle diced red onions, tomatoes, and the parsley or green onions on top.

Serve these loaded fries hot so they taste their best and stay nice and crispy.
