In-n-out Copycat Animal Style Fries Recipe
Ingredients
In-N-Out Inspired Special Sauce
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
- Rice vinegar or white vinegar
- Sweet relish
- Sugar
- Chili flakes (optional)
Main Ingredients
- Frozen fries
- Cheddar cheese/American cheese
- Onions
- Butter
- Neutral oil
- Salt
Instructions
- Caramelize Onions: Melt butter in a pan over medium-low heat and add neutral oil. Add the minced onions and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally and allow to caramelize for at least 30 minutes on medium-low to low heat. If the onions begin to burn, reduce the heat.
- Make the Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, sweet relish, sugar, and optional chili flakes in a bowl. Set aside.
- Cook the Fries: Follow the package instructions to bake or fry the frozen fries until crisp.
- Cheese It Up: Once fries are cooked, top them with grated cheddar cheese or slices of American cheese. Place under a broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Assemble the Animal Style Fries: Top the melted cheese fries with the caramelized onions and drizzle with the prepared special sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy!: Your In-N-Out Copycat Animal Style Fries are ready to be devoured.
Notes
- Onions: The onions need at least 30 minutes to caramelize properly. If they're burning, lower the heat.
- Chili Flakes: These are optional and for added heat, as original In-N-Out sauce does not contain chili flakes.
- Cheese: In-N-Out uses American cheese slices, but shredded cheddar is a fine substitution.
Please note that the exact measurements for the ingredients were not provided. You may want to start with small quantities of each sauce component, adjusting to taste as you mix.
