Step‑By‑Step Instructions for Smash Burger Fries
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C). Arrange the frozen crispy fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake the fries for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway to ensure even crispness.
  3. While the fries bake, season the ground beef with kosher salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  4. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, adding butter or oil if desired.
  5. Divide the beef into six equal pieces and press into thin patties in the skillet; cook for 2-3 minutes until browned on one side.
  6. Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes until thoroughly browned.
  7. Arrange the baked fries on an oven-safe platter and layer the cheese sauce over them.
  8. Break apart the cooked patties and scatter them over the cheese-covered fries.
  9. Return the platter to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through.
  10. Remove from the oven, drizzle with Thousand Island dressing, and add your desired toppings before serving.
