Crispy, savory baked sweet potato fries loaded with everything you crave! Savory chili made with ground bison or beef, bacon, avocado, Paleo ranch sauce and even a fried egg. Its totally healthy to dig in to these loaded chili sweet potato fries – they’re Paleo and Whole30 friendly.
Most of the time, I like things pretty simple. I mean with food – the rest of my life is debatable.
Simple burger, simple baked fries, simple fruit with chocolate – you know – all the stuff you see in my WIAW posts every week.
And, sometimes, I like to put ALL the simple things I like together on one plate – simple + simple + simple = a plate full of all my favorites. Granted, it’s not quite so simple anymore, but it sure is tasty!
Have I lost you yet? What I’m saying is most definitely related to this recipe for loaded chili sweet potato fries. You have sweet potato fries – which I eat every day at least once, and you should too, by the way. Then, you have ground meat, perfectly spiced so it’s not too spicy, if that makes sense (I used bison, you can totally use beef!)
On top of that, we have ranch sauce, scallions, bacon (how could I forget?!) avocado, and even a fried egg! Yes, I went wild with this – and you should too – at least once! While I wouldn’t recommend trying to eat the entire plate on your own, this is the perfect weekend treat that everyone in the family can enjoy.
Friends too, if you have them handy 🙂
The best part of this plate? It looks like total decadence, yet it’s actually made with all real-food ingredients, contains no added sugar, and is Paleo and Whole30 friendly! The ranch sauce sort of acts as/tastes like the “cheese” on typical loaded fries. Seriously, my ranch sauce is awesome stuff (sauce?) and I would not be living a happy Paleo life without it.
Since I am a self-proclaimed loaded fries snob (as of just now) you know you’re in good hands with this recipe. I DO recommend adding or loading on anything extra that YOU love – obviously you can personalize this to make it your own glorious loaded sweet potato fries heaven.
Imagine that heaven – I want some of that! As long as there’s dessert at the end, hopefully we can work that out 🙂 Let’s start cooking!
Loaded Chili Sweet Potato Fries {Paleo & Whole30}
Loaded Chili Sweet Potato Fries {Paleo & Whole30}
Ingredients
For the Sweet Potato Fries:
- 1 recipe for Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries you'll need 2 medium sweet potatoes
For the Chili:
- 2 tsp cooking fat of choice I used bacon fat
- 1/2 lb ground grass fed beef or bison
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes drained
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp salt
Other toppings
- 1/4 cup Paleo ranch sauce link to my recipe
- 4 slices cooked and crumbled nitrate free sugar free bacon
- Thinly sliced scallions or fresh chives
- 1/2 medium avocado sliced or diced
- 2 eggs fried with soft yolks*
Instructions
-
Prepare the fries as directed in this post.
-
While the fries bake, heat a medium-large heavy skilletover med/hi heat and add your cooking fat. Add the ground meat, breaking up lumps with a spoon, followed by the diced tomatoes and all of the spices, plus salt. Stir and cook until the meat is just browned, then remove from heat.
-
Make your ranch sauce if you haven't already, and get your toppings ready.
-
Once the fries are baked, allow them to cool just a bit so you can handle them, then arrange on a plate or platter.
-
Top the fries with the chili, crumbled bacon, ranch sauce (I piped mine on using a simple plastic bag cut on one corner), avocado, fried eggs, and sliced scallions or chives.
-
Serve right away and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
*For fried eggs with a soft yolk, I heat a non-stick pan with coconut oil over med heat. Once the oil is heated, I crack each egg into the pan and allow the whites to crisp up a bit.
Then, I briefly cover the pan (any cover will do), checking often, to allow the rest of the whites to cook while leaving the yolk soft. The pan is typically covered for 30 seconds or so. Practice this a few times and experiment for the perfect fried eggs!

What are your ultimate sweet potato toppings?
What are you up to this weekend?
#ijustdied. LIke actually died. Things I am self proclaimed at. I dunno, being awesome?? But I say that in jest, and I definitely don’t mean it, so probably not. I am a self proclaimed… Now you’ve got me stumped. Truly stumped. I am going to figure this out by the end of today.
Haha no pressure but a good one to figure out lol 🙂
I love that you put an egg on top! What am I self proclaimed? Being resilient. I feel like I’ve had some unique challenges in life.
I love putting fried eggs on top of basically everything! Resilient is an awesome thing to be!
Pretty sure this plate is everything I want in life. And since it has all my favorite savory toppings already, I think my next step would be “sweet” loaded sweet potato fries, topped with almond/cashew butter, cinnamon, super-dark chocolate, and coconut. But it wouldn’t look quite as impressive, since those toppings aren’t quite as voluminous 🙂
I was just thinking that – YES! But I think you should do it first now and I will EAT!
I feel like this is the ultimate paleo BREAKFAST! Am I right? 😉
I have my favorite potato toppings, but I’ve realized that just about anything you put a top potatoes…it’s going to be good 😉
Lol yes this can be breakfast or really any meal 🙂 And yes I’d say potatoes are an awesome base for everything!
Heaven! I would like to think I’m also a sweet potato addict. And nut butter. The combo is eaten at least once a day.
I need to do more of a dessert sweet potato sometime 🙂
I need to at least make the ranch sauce for my son! he loves ranch. he never lets me load fries for him, he doesn’t trust me these days even though I know he would love this recipe! I basically eat loaded sweet potato fries every night for dinner lol. I just throw the wedges together with some vegetables and either cheese or avocado and a protein like chick peas or quinoa. simple!
So so true, your dinners bowls are all ultimate loaded fries!
Sweet potato fries are the best – sometimes the add ons are worth foregoing a wee bit of the simplicity!
So true, they really go with everything sweet or savory 🙂 Next time maybe dessert!
oh wow, you just took sweet potato fries to the next level!!! I make sweet potato fries a few times every week!!!
They’re so good, nothing not to love!
pinned ! OMG this looks good. i like baked sweet pots a lot. i think i crowd my pan and they dont get as crisp as they should. but i want lots ! and to not heat up my house all the time so i make bulk ? i like cinnamon/chili powder type mix. sorta sweet and a tiny bit smoky. the blog looks different! i like it !
The japanese ones (white inside purple outside) definitely get the crispiest but with parchment paper and good amount of space they can all get pretty crispy. I need to try that cinnamon chili powder combo!
I’m a self proclaimed… fool for registering in a marathon that is happening in less than 3 months! Scary and exciting! It will be my first marathon fueled by GFfood only … I see a lot of sweet potatoes and bananas on the menu for the next three months 😉 I’ve been following you since before your last Boston but I will take a look into your archives for inspiration to see how you fueled your marathons!
Wow, excited for you! I feel like most of my blog was written while marathon training so there are definitely some resources there. Get nice and comfy with bananas 🙂
I want to be a self proclaimed loaded sweet potato fries snob! teach me your ways. But only if you make this for me EVERY DAMN DAY! haha. Love it!
Happily! My secret is put bacon and eggs on everything, lol 🙂
I definitely need to try your ranch sauce and maybe some loaded Sweet Potato Fries. I do have one potato hanging out looking for love (in all the wrong places…sorry couldn’t resist).
Haha! My potatoes don’t need to look long for love, I can’t even keep up with buying them.
Wow, they need to start serving this plate of deliciousness at restaurants. It looks so good and wholesome and filling. 🙂 I love loaded plates of fries.
I’d love it if I could get something like this out to eat! Thanks!

Eu estava procurando іsto pɑrticular informação para um tеmpo .
Obrigado e boa sorte .
I just made this for my family of 5 and……..holy cow! This is amazing! I mean phenomenal! I will need to make more meat next time for everyone to be full, but it’s definitely going on the rotation. The ranch sauce makes it! I can no longer live without that stuff! I might try making a larger batch sometime to make potato salad. My husband and I will be completing our first Whole 30 next week! I’m so glad I found your blog, as we will continue to eat this way!
Michele! I just had to comment this recipe is so delicious. I need make a few tweaks though and thought I would share for anyone else feeling so inspired 🙂 I had beef for lunch the week before, so I actually used shredded chicken, and mixed it with the ranch sauce (I added hot sauce to the ranch sauce to make it “buffalo” ranch). I also used one purple sweet potato, and one regular. Added some avocado, crispy nitrate free bacon and Oh My Gosh. So delicious. I look forward to experimenting in the future with this excellent recipe!
ps. how in the world does blending an egg make mayonnaise?! This baffles me.
Love those additions, sounds delish!
I love this recipe! I’ve made it three times now. I’ve never included eggs and the dish is great without. Thanks for the great recipe!
I love this recipe and use it all the time. But your link to the ranch dip is broken. Can you please fix it? Unfortunately, I do not have it memorized.
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll try to find that now.
Hi there! This is my absolute FAVORITE recipe when I’m doing Whole30 – in fact, it’s one of my favorite recipes ever. One question: the link to the paleo ranch sauce no longer works. Is there a way to get that link up and working again? Each time i make this recipe, I go down the rabbit hole of googling ranch sauces until I find it (or something similar). But I really loved the original recipe for the Paleo ranch sauce that was linked to this recipe and would LOVE to have it back again!! Regardless: thanks for this awesome appetizer. Gonna make it tonight for the Golden Globes!
I will link it again – I think changing recipe plugins broke the link 🙂 So happy you like it!
My husband & I LOVE this recipe!!! It’s one of his ultimate favorites. Thank you for sharing! Genius combination of flavors.
WOW! It looks delicious! My mouth is watering. Thanks for sharing this.
Snacks look delicious and very attractive, I love to eat. thank you for sharing
Thank you for a beautiful chili sweet potato fries paleo recipe. Made this tonight for my family and the kitchen smells divine. It tastes even better.
Hey hey!! Oh my goodness, this. is. AMAZING. My husband and I are on our 2nd round of Whole30, and this is hitting the spot. I left off the avocados (I just can’t get on the avocado wagon), and it was just as delish. The next time I make it, I will make sure my fries look amazing and will feature this recipe on my blog!
This is an gluten-free appetizer or snack. Super delicious, budget-friendly, kids-friendly food. I really like this dish.
The Information and working is admorable
The article is easy to understand, detailed and meticulous! I had a lot of harvest after seeing this post from you! I found it interesting, your article gave me a new perspective! I have read many other articles on the same topic, but yours convinced me! mapquest driving directions
Wow, this blog post completely blew my mind! The way you explained the concept was so clear and concise. I can’t wait to share this with my friends and colleagues. Keep up the amazing work!”
