• 1 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cut fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
3. Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

6. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to create a creamy sauce.
7. Once the cheese is melted, remove the loaded fries from the oven and top with diced pickles, diced tomatoes, and chopped red onion.
