A French fry bowl is basically a loaded, customizable meal served over fries instead of rice or salad. Think of it like a comfort-food “bowl format” where fries are the base.

⚖️ Quick note
It’s delicious but heavy—so adding fresh veggies or a side salad helps balance it out.
If you want, I can turn this into a street-food style recipe (like restaurant loaded fries) or a healthier version with less oil and calories.
