Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Sweet pickle relish
• 0.5 teaspoon White vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized strips, about 1/4-inch thick, to create fries.

Step 3

Toss the potato strips with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even baking.

Step 4

Bake the fries in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

Step 5

While the fries are baking, prepare the grilled onions. Finely dice the yellow onion.

Step 6

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside.

Step 7

Prepare the Animal Style sauce by mixing mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and white vinegar in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed and set aside.

Step 8

Once the fries are finished baking, transfer them to an oven-safe dish and layer the cheddar cheese slices evenly on top.

Step 9

Place the dish back in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts completely.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and top the cheesy fries with the grilled onions and a generous drizzle of the Animal Style sauce.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your baked version of In N Out Animal Style Fries!
