Low calorie animal style fries (in 'n' out copycat)

Step 1

If you're using an oven, pre-heat oven to 220ºC (425ºF).

Step 2

To make the fries, start by cutting the potatoes into thin fries. Toss in the oil and seasonings of your choice.

Step 3

Transfer the fries to the air-fryer and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. If you're using an oven, transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4

Once the fries are done, turn off the oven/air-fryer, add a slice of cheese to the fries and place back in the air-fryer or oven until the cheese has melted.

Step 5

Whilst the fries bake, make the fried onions by adding oil to a frying pan and then adding in the chopped onions. Cook on medium heat until the onions are soft and begin to brown. This should take about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Make the sauce by mixing together the mayo, ketchup, mustard, chopped pickles and pickle juice.

Step 7

To assemble the animal style fires, transfer the fries to your serving dish, top with the sauce and then sprinkle on the onions.

Step 8

Serve and enjoy hot!
