Ribs

Hand-Cut Fries

Method

Ribs Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Ribs

    Place the ribs in the smoker bone-side down and smoke for 4-5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.

  3. 3

    Apply BBQ Sauce

    During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the honey BBQ sauce onto the ribs. Let it caramelize and form a nice glaze.

Honey BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Fries Preparation

  1. 5

    Cut and Fry the Potatoes

    Cut the russet potatoes into thick fries. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Cole Slaw Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Cole Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
