Can I make Animal Style Fries?! DIY IN & OUT • CLICKPLATE

Soak sliced russet potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes.

Add salt to a pot of boiling water and blanch the soaked potatoes for 3 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and place them on a tray with kitchen paper to dry completely.

Place the tray in the freezer to cool the potatoes for their second cooking.

Fill a large pot 1/3 full with oil and bring it to 280 degrees Fahrenheit (140 degrees Celsius).

Fry the potatoes in the oil for 3 minutes until almost cooked but not colored, then drain and place them on a tray with kitchen paper.

Return the tray to the freezer until the fries are completely cool.

Raise the oil temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Remove the fries from the freezer and carefully add them back to the hot oil.

Fry the fries until they turn golden brown, then transfer them to a tray lined with kitchen paper.

In a pan, add a little butter and oil to caramelize the onions.

Add onions to the pan and cook until they are translucent and gloriously caramelized, reducing the heat if necessary.

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and cucumber pickle or dill pickle to make the secret sauce, whisking until combined.

Once the onions are caramelized, prepare to assemble the fries.

Place the fries in a basket and layer with American style cheese, caramelized onions, and the secret sauce on top.
