Ingredients

  • 2ish pounds fries (I make my own oven fries using Smitten Kitchen’s amazing recipe. Alternatively you can buy frozen!)

  • 2 yellow onions, sliced into 1/4” width

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 cup vegan mayo

  • 3 tbsp ketchup

  • 1.5 tsp distilled white vinegar

  • 1.5 tsp sugar

  • Pinch of kosher salt

  • 1 cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese

  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini

  • Flaky salt

What to Do ⁣


1. Set a large pan over medium heat with olive oil and add sliced onions. Cook and stir every 5ish minutes until deep golden brown in color. About 30 minutes. Cool and chop. ⁣
2. Prep In-N-Out “spread” copycat sauce from Kenji Lopez-Alt. Add mayo, ketchup, pickle relish, vinegar, sugar, and salt to a bowl and mix. And taste! Pretty dead on.
3. Prep your fries! Pull straight from oven as soon as they’re done cooking (with either recipe). Sprinkle vegan cheese all over the whole sheet tray. Cover with another sheet tray and pop back in the oven for 3 minutes to melt.⁣
4. Pulled them out and cover in caramelized onions, spread, then pepperoncini. Finish with flaky salt!

Recipe from Smitten Kitchen

I N G R E D I E N T S

  • 3 medium Russet potatoes, scrubbed

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • Kosher salt

W H A T T O D O

  1. Heat oven to 450°.

  2. Slice potatoes into 3/4” spears.

  3. Place in large pot and cover with an inch-ish of water; set to high and turn off after 10 minutes (keep watch, want them super al dente and not going mush).

  4. Meanwhile, coat a large baking sheet with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil and place it in the oven for a few minutes to get the oil real hot; remove.

  5. Put drained potatoes on the hot pan, cover in 1 tbsp oil and sprinkle with salt; place back in oven for 20 minutes.

  6. Remove and toss around for even browning; place back in for 5 minutes, repeating as necessary for desired crispiness and color.

  7. Remove and season with more salt.
