Ingredients

For Crispy Potato Wedges:

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For One Pot Cheesy Beef Spaghetti (based on image):

• 250g spaghetti
• 300g ground beef
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• ½ cup chopped bell peppers
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cups broth or water
• 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
• Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
• Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Potato Wedges

Wash and cut potatoes into wedges. Soak them in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. Bake Until Crispy

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Spread wedges in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

3. Cook One Pot Spaghetti

In a large pan or pot, cook ground beef until browned. Add onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened. Stir in diced tomatoes, seasoning, and broth. Add uncooked spaghetti directly into the pot and let it simmer until pasta is tender and absorbs the sauce.

4. Add Cheese and Finish

Once spaghetti is cooked, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and cover for a few minutes until melted. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a fresh finish, just like in the image.

5. Serve

Serve the cheesy beef spaghetti in a bowl with crispy tortilla chips or toasted bread on the side for extra crunch and texture.

Tips for Extra Crispiness

• Always soak potatoes before baking for better texture
• Dry them completely before adding oil
• Avoid overcrowding the tray to ensure even crisping
• Use high heat for that golden finish

Suggested Dips

• Classic ketchup
• Garlic aioli
• Creamy ranch dressing
• Spicy mayo

What to Serve With It

• Grilled chicken
• Burgers
• Fresh green salad
• Garlic bread or tortilla chips (as shown in image)

Storage Instructions

Store leftover wedges and spaghetti separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat wedges in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy, and warm spaghetti on the stove or microwave with a splash of water to maintain moisture.
