Method

Ribs Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Ribs

    In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the baby back ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Wrap the Ribs

    Wrap the seasoned ribs tightly in aluminum foil, creating a packet that will keep the moisture in.

  4. 4

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the wrapped ribs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until they are fork-tender.

  5. 5

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and carefully unwrap them to avoid steam. Brush a generous amount of BBQ sauce over the ribs.

  6. 6

    Broil the Ribs

    Preheat your broiler. Place the ribs under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is caramelized and bubbling.

French Fries Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to create fries.

  2. 8

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 9

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the potato strips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 10

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.
