Ribs And Fry Recipe

Ribs and Fry

1. 1

   Prep ribs and dry rub

   Remove membrane from the back of the ribs. Mix dry rub ingredients in a bowl. Generously coat both sides of the ribs with the rub, pressing to adhere. Let sit 20 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate up to 4 hours.

2. 2

   Slow-cook ribs

   Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Place ribs on a rack over a sheet pan. Cover with foil and bake for 2.5–3 hours until tender. Remove foil in the last 15 minutes if you like a crust.

3. 3

   Finish ribs with sauce (optional)

   Brush ribs with barbecue sauce and broil or grill for 2–3 minutes per side to set the glaze, or serve without sauce.

4. 4

   Prepare fries

   Scrub potatoes and cut into even sticks. Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly.

5. 5

   Double-fry fries

   Heat oil to 325°F (165°C). Fry potatoes in batches for 3–4 minutes until pale and just tender. Remove and drain. Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry again in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and immediately season with salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice or pull ribs into portions. Plate with hot fries on the side. Offer extra barbecue sauce for dipping if desired.
