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.
