Texas Fries image

My version of the Riscky's BBQ Original. They offer them as an appetizer but I can make a meal of it. While the real thing is best, one serving equals my total monthly fat allotment. I skinnied it down by sauteeing the onions & peppers rather than dropping them in the deep fryer as they do. I also prefer to oven bake fresh cut potatoes.We like them to put the quick back in our step so I pepper heavily. Fork required!

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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)

Steps:

  • 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.
