Ingredients
- Frozen French Fries
- American Cheese
- Grilled Onions
- Animal Style Spread (1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish)
- Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Fries: Start by cooking your frozen French fries according to the package instructions until they are golden and crispy. If you’re using fresh potatoes, peel and cut them into fries, then soak them in cold water for 30 minutes, dry, and fry them until crispy.
- Make the Animal Style Spread: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, and 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish. Mix well and set aside.
- Grill the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and sauté sliced yellow onions until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Assemble the Fries: Once the fries are cooked, place them on a serving plate. Top them generously with the grilled onions, then lay slices of American cheese over the top.
- Melt the Cheese: To melt the cheese, you can pop the plate in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or place it under the broiler for a minute, just until the cheese is gooey and melted.
- Add the Animal Style Spread: Drizzle the animal style spread over the cheesy fries, making sure each fry is coated with that delicious sauce.
- Season and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of salt to taste and serve immediately while the fries are hot and crispy.
