Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into wavy shapes using a crinkle cutter.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Jalapenos

  1. 3

    Slice the Jalapenos

    Slice the jalapenos into thin rings. Set aside for serving.

Onions

  1. 4

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.

Pickled Cucumber Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Pickles

    In a bowl, combine sliced cucumbers, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and dill. Mix well and let sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle.

Pickles

  1. 6

    Serve the Pickles

    Slice the pickles into rounds and serve alongside the other dishes.

Mushrooms

  1. 7

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add sliced mushrooms and salt. Cook until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Spinach

  1. 8

    Sauté the Spinach

    In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh spinach and salt. Sauté until wilted, about 3-5 minutes.
