  2. Remove fries from oven, lower oven temperature to 350˚F, and top fries with cheese slices.
  3. Place fries back into the oven and bake for about 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts.
  4. Top fries with a generous drizzle of spread and a sprinkle of caramelized onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tips and Tricks for Success
  • Variations
  • Use American cheese. Although it's not for everyone, it's what they use and really helps to capture the true flavors of animal style fries.
  • Use store-bought frozen french fries to save a ton of time (rather than making your own french fries).
  • Don't rush caramelizing the onions. You really want to give the onions time to properly caramelize to get that slightly sweet flavor.
  • Save some spread to serve on the side along with ketchup!
  • Add pickle chips to the top of the fries.
  • Drizzle some ketchup and/or yellow mustard over the top.
  • Add some sliced pepperoncinis or sliced pickled jalapeños for a kick.
  • If you prefer a cheese sauce topping to a melted cheese topping, top the animal style fries with our delicious cheese sauce recipe instead.
