Animal Style Fries In-N-Out (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Special Sauce
01 -
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
02 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
03 -
1/2 cup mayonnaise
04 -
2 tablespoons ketchup
05 -
1/2 tablespoon chili flakes (add if you want it spicy)
06 -
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar or white vinegar
→ Fries and Toppings
07 -
1 tablespoon neutral oil
08 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
09 -
2 onions, diced
10 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
11 -
1/2 bag frozen French fries
12 -
4 slices American cheese or a good handful of shredded cheddar
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Start off by tossing onions, salt, butter, and oil in a pan on medium-low. Let them cook down slowly and give a stir now and then. If they start to brown too fast, turn the heat down. Go for about 30 minutes so they’re nice and golden brown.
02 -
Grab a bowl and mix mayo, ketchup, relish, vinegar, sugar, and chili flakes if you like a kick. Stir everything together so it’s smooth and pop it aside for now.
03 -
Pop those frozen fries in the oven or into hot oil, whichever way you like. Let them cook until they’re crunchy and have a good golden look.
04 -
Spread your hot fries over a platter. Lay on the cheese slices or scatter your shredded cheddar, then stick under the broiler for three to five minutes till the cheese is oozy.
05 -
Pile the caramelized onions all over the melted cheese, pour the sauce across the top, and dig in right away.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Keep stirring those onions as they cook so they get evenly browned—no one likes burnt bits.
02 -
Chili flakes are just for fun. Leave them out if you want to keep things classic.
03 -
Classic flavor comes from American cheese, but cheddar is a fine swap if that's more your style.
