House Fries Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potato strips in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fries to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sugar, cooking slowly while stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Once the fries are done and the onions are caramelized, place the fries on a serving platter, top with the caramelized onions, and serve immediately.
