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!

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • frozen french fries32 ounces
  • large sweet onion, peeled, sliced thin & ringed1
  • sliced pickled jalapeno peppers, canned (preferred) or 1 cup sliced fresh jalapeno1 cup
  • vegetable oil1 tablespoon
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • ranch dressing (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Bake or fry potatoes, whichever you prefer.

  2. 2

    Pour oil in a large skillet. Add onions & jalapenos & cook, stirring often, till onions are tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. 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. 4

    Spoon half the onion/pepper mixture onto a serving dish. Top with hot fries. Add remaining onion & peppers.

  5. 5

    Salt to taste but pepper liberally.

  6. 6

    To make it authentic, serve with ranch dressing for dipping rather than ketchup.
