Texas Fries

"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!"

ingredients

  • 32 ounces frozen french fries (or use your favorite home made version)
  • 1 large sweet onion, peeled, sliced thin & ringed

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • ranch dressing (optional)

directions

  • 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.

  1. What a great recipe! We baked the fries and used diced canned jalapenos, although only about half of what the recipe called for. I couldn't resist sprinkling some shredded cheese on top and sticking back under the broiler for a minute. Delicious with homemade ranch dressing! Thank you for posting Susie. Made for ZaarStars tag, please see my rating system.
     
  2. We love spice so this was right up my family's alley! I used fresh jalapeno peppers and homemade fries and served with ranch dressing both my DH and Ds loved this and I will make again soon, thanks for sharing Susie!
     
  3. Wow these were good! I used fewer jalapenos but still enjoyed plenty of spice. The ranch dressing helps cool the heat a bit.
     
  4. Absolutely SCRUMMY! I used frozen chips (fries) and pickled jalapenos and stuck to the recipe. We like it spicy and we thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you, SusieQusie, for sharing this wonderful recipe!
     
  5. These were really nice, but I found them too spicy. One cup of jalapeno peppers is too much for me and made it difficult to enjoy this recipe

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste &amp; appearance; directions were clear &amp; easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
