My version of the Riscky's BBQ Original. They offer them as an appetizer but I can make a meal of it. While the real thing is best, one serving equals my total monthly fat allotment. I skinnied it down by sauteeing the onions & peppers rather than dropping them in the deep fryer as they do. I also prefer to oven bake fresh cut potatoes.We like them to put the quick back in our step so I pepper heavily. Fork required!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

32 ounces frozen french fries (or use your favorite home made version)
1 large sweet onion, peeled, sliced thin & ringed
1 cup sliced pickled jalapeno pepper, canned (preferred) or sliced fresh jalapeno
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt
ground black pepper
ranch dressing (optional)

Directions

1
Bake or fry potatoes, whichever you prefer.
2
Pour oil in a large skillet. Add onions & jalapenos & cook, stirring often, till onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
3
**We prefer the canned jalapenos because the vinegar seeps into the onions while cooking & flavors the whole dish. If using fresh peppers, you may need either more oil or a dash of vinegar.
4
Spoon half the onion/pepper mixture onto a serving dish. Top with hot fries. Add remaining onion & peppers.
5
Salt to taste but pepper liberally.
6
To make it authentic, serve with ranch dressing for dipping rather than ketchup.

What a great recipe! We baked the fries and used diced canned jalapenos, although only about half of what the recipe called for. I couldn't resist sprinkling some shredded cheese on top and sticking back under the broiler for a minute. Delicious with homemade ranch dressing! Thank you for posting Susie.

These were a great comfort food. We baked the taters and then topped with the pepper/onion combo and then added cheese to get all nice and gooey. Was very good. Thanks for posting

DH & I enjoyed these alongside Sharp Turkey Hoagies #2859. I served the fries with the dipping sauce from Amarillo Cheese Fries and Dip - Like the Lone Star's. This was a nice way to dress up frozen fries. Thanks!
