Instructions

1. Make the filling: see video in this post.

Heat the oil in a pot or large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook and stir until it turns translucent. Add garlic and cook stirring for a minute.Add minced meat and cook and stir, breaking into small clumps until it browns. Pour in the tomato sauce, add bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cover. Simmer for 3 minutes. Uncover and mix in the fried plantains.Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste if needed. Remove from the heat and set aside.

2. Deep fry potatoes

Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a small saucepan, so you have enough height to cover the potato.Place the potato sticks on a tray and pat dry with a paper towel to reduce hot oil splatter. Lower a handful of potato sticks into the oil with a slotted spoon, and fry until they turn golden brown. Place them on a paper towel and repeat with the rest.Once fried, sprinkle the fries with salt.

2. Or cook potatoes in air fryer

Drizzle the potato with the olive oil, and add the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir with a spatula or toss to coat them all in the oil and seasoning. Set aside while you pre-heat the oven or air fryer. Heat the oven to 350 ºF [175 ºC], or the air fryer to the temperature suggested by the manufacturer and cook in the preheated oven or air fryer until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.

3. To assemble it

Layer the fries onto 4 microwave-safe plates. Top with a middle layer of steaming-hot meat. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar. The hot meat should melt the cheese, but if it doesn't, heat the plates in the microwave for 90 seconds, or until the cheese melts.You can also broil it instead of microwaving it, per instructions above the recipe.Drizzle with mayo and ketchup, and serve right away.

Notes

Rousset potatoes are best for this dish, but whatever you have at hand will work. You can use pre-cut potatoes too.
