Instructions

Prepare the Fries:

- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

- Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they aren't overcrowded (use two sheets if necessary for even cooking).

- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are crispy and golden.

Prepare the BBQ Chicken:

- In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar until well combined. Adjust the sauce to your preference.

Assemble:

- Once the fries are baked, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

- Return the fries to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Top and Serve:

- Remove the loaded fries from the oven and immediately top with the BBQ chicken mixture.
