Ingredients

  • 2 cups Tad’s Dad’s Chili (vegan)

  • 4 cups frozen or homemade fries

  • 1 cup vegan cheese (mozzarella or cheddar-style)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (if making homemade fries)

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley or green onions, for garnish

Directions

  1. Bake the Fries

    – Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
    – Spread frozen fries on a baking sheet. If using fresh potatoes, toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper before baking.
    – Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.

  2. Heat the Chili

    While the fries are baking, warm Tad’s Dad’s Chili in a saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Assemble the Poutine

    – Place the crispy fries on a serving platter or in individual bowls.
    – Spoon hot chili generously over the fries.
    – Sprinkle vegan cheese on top, letting it melt slightly.

  4. Garnish & Serve

    Top with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of flavor.

    Serve immediately and enjoy this Colorado-style comfort food!
