Texas Fries - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
32 ounces frozen french fries (or use your favorite home made version)
1 large sweet onion, peeled, sliced thin & ringed
1 cup sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, canned (preferred) or 1 cup sliced fresh jalapeno
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt
ground black pepper
ranch dressing (optional)
Preparation
-
Bake or fry potatoes, whichever you prefer.
Pour oil in a large skillet. Add onions & jalapenos & cook, stirring often, till onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
**We prefer the canned jalapenos because the vinegar seeps into the onions while cooking & flavors the whole dish. If using fresh peppers, you may need either more oil or a dash of vinegar.
Spoon half the onion/pepper mixture onto a serving dish. Top with hot fries. Add remaining onion & peppers.
Salt to taste but pepper liberally.
To make it authentic, serve with ranch dressing for dipping rather than ketchup.
