Instructions
Prep the fries
Wash, peel and cut potatoes into 1 cm thick fries.
Soak the fries
Place cut fries in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch for crispier results.
Caramelize the onions
Melt butter in a pan over medium heat, add sliced onions and cook slowly until golden and sweet.
Make the special sauce
Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, sugar, pickle relish and vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
Fry the potatoes
Heat oil in a large pan or wok, fry soaked and dried fries in batches until golden and crispy.
Assemble the animal style fries
Place hot fries on a serving plate, immediately top with cheese slices, hot caramelized onions and drizzle generously with special sauce.
Storage
Best eaten immediately; sauce can be stored separately up to 5 days
Notes
• For extra crispiness, double-fry the potatoes: once at 160°C for 4 minutes, rest 5 minutes, then 180°C until golden.
