Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup beef mince
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

6. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, and smoked paprika to the pan. Cook until the onion is translucent.
7. Once the sweet potato fries are done, remove them from the oven and top each one with a spoonful of the beef mince mixture, followed by a sprinkle of grated cheese.
