Print: Animal Style Fries

Everyone knows that despite being freshly cut, the pale and soggy fries are In-N-Out's weakest point, but if you smother them in cheese, sweet caramelized onions, and In-N-Out spread, they're magical. So replacing the sad fries with crispy frozen fries really is an improvement over the originals here. Spread is just a basic sweet and tangy burger sauce with mayo, ketchup, relish, a little sugar, and a little vinegar. The onions are really the stars here - soft, sweet, and jammy. Be sure to serve immediately as soon as the fries are cooked - the residual heat of the fries and the onions is what melts the cheese.

Ingredients

0.5 cups mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1.5 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

Instructions

1 Prepare the Spread: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and set aside until serving.
2 Prepare the Grilled Onions: Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onions and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown, about 20 minutes. When skillet starts to become dry, add 1 tablespoon of water. Continue cooking, stirring often, adding more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed, until onions are very soft, deeply browned, and jammy, 10 to 15 more minutes (you may not need to use all the water). Cover and set aside to keep warm.
3 Prepare fries according to package instructions.
4 Divide fries evenly among 4 plates; immediately top with 1 slice cheese, 3 tablespoons grilled onions, and 3 tablespoons spread.
