Step-by-Step Instructions for Dirty Fries
  1. Wash and peel russet potatoes. Cut into fries and soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and dry. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange fries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet. Sauté diced red onion and bell peppers for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Transfer fries to an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella over fries and return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese is melted.
  5. Top cheesy fries with sautéed vegetables, jalapeños, chili flakes, and oregano.
  6. Mix together sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl until smooth.
