How to Make Texas Fries
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut 2 lbs of russet potatoes into your desired fry shape.
- Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While potatoes bake, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 cup canned jalapeños, drained (or 1-2 fresh jalapeños, finely chopped). Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until onions are softened.
- If using fresh jalapeños, add a dash of vinegar (about 1 teaspoon) to enhance flavor.
- Spoon half of the onion and jalapeño mixture onto a serving platter.
- Top with half of the baked fries.
- Layer with the remaining onion and jalapeño mixture.
- Top with remaining fries.
- Season generously with salt and a heavy dose of black pepper.
- Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.
