TEXAS FRIES



Texas Fries image

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!

Provided by SusieQusie

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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 peppers, canned (preferred) or 1 cup sliced fresh jalapeno
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt
ground black pepper
ranch dressing (optional)

Steps:

  • Bake or fry potatoes, whichever you prefer.
  • Pour oil in a large skillet. Add onions & jalapenos & cook, stirring often, till onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • **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.
  • Spoon half the onion/pepper mixture onto a serving dish. Top with hot fries. Add remaining onion & peppers.
  • Salt to taste but pepper liberally.
  • To make it authentic, serve with ranch dressing for dipping rather than ketchup.

SKINNY TEXAS CHEESE FRIES



Skinny Texas Cheese Fries image

Guiltless cheesy seasoned fries topped with veggie bacon, jalapenos and scallions served with a cool low-fat buttermilk ranch on the side. So when it's cheese fries you are craving, make them yourself and you'll save hundreds of calories and have better portion control preparing it yourself. A half order at Chili's is a whopping 1260 calories and 89 grams of fat, yikes!! This recipe is a serving for two, if you want to make this into a meal, why not serve a large fresh garden salad on the side, with more ranch dressing! You'll have those carbs you crave and feel completely satisfied. Leave the skin on for added fiber, and this recipe uses a full fat cheddar so that the cheese melts beautifully, Just use less of it and it will be great. if you prefer using reduced fat cheese, Cabot and Sargento are two brands that are good to use. I have tweaked the recipe, using veggie bacon. From skinny taste.
