Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large In-N-Out fries (fresh or frozen crispy fries)
- 1/2 cup of animal style savory sauce (see recipe below)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or American cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickles
- 2 tablespoons caramelized onions
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by mixing this easy animal style sauce recipe to create the signature flavor for your fries. Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, and a hint of pickle juice. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Use either freshly cut In-N-Out fries or pre-cooked frozen fries. Spread the fries evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes or until crispy, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, fry fresh potatoes until golden-brown for best crunch.
- Slice a large onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil, then sauté the onions slowly until caramelized, about 15 minutes, to add authentic sweetness to the topping.
- Once the fries are crispy, transfer them to a large serving dish. Spread evenly with the animal style sauce. Top generously with shredded cheese, caramelized onions, and chopped pickles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispy fries, consider double frying frozen fries or using freshly cut potatoes.
- Adjust cheese and sauce quantities to suit your flavor preferences.
- Sauté onions slowly over medium heat for authentic caramelization.
- Prepare the animal style sauce in advance for enhanced flavor.
