Quick, Thick Meat Sauce & Spicy Oven Fries

SERVES: 4 PREP: 15 minutes TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes

One pot, one sheet pan, many happy bellies.

With all due respect – and oh, how I respect them – to Bolognese sauces that simmer until the sun comes up, this one delivers a dinner in very little time. And these potatoes: I don’t mean to deny John of deep-fryer duty, but sheet-pan fries are pretty amazing in their own right and a little oil goes a long way here without all the fuss. If you like your fries super crunchy, slice them a little thinner. Want wedges? Go thicker. Either way they’ll hold that sauce the way we all want to be held.

For the meat sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 cup finely diced onion

  • 1 pound ground beef (about 20 percent fat)

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes, plus more to taste

  • 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

  • ¼ cup water

For the potatoes:

  • 1 ½ pounds Idaho/Russet potatoes (these are best for fries because they’re starchy!)

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne, plus more to taste

  • + chopped fresh parsley and Parm for serving
