Outback Steakhouse Aussie Fries
1 − 2 lb. bag of Frozen French Fries
1 Cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
6 pieces of Bacon, cooked
24 Fl. Oz. Peanut Oil (can be reused later; store in refrigerator)
Divide the fries into half, and use the other half later.
Heat oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a thermostat, make sure
the oil is hot enough, so that when you set a french fry in there it
will cook immediately. If the french fry sinks to the bottom, and
barely bubbles, it is not hot enough. Fry the potatoes in small
batches, they are done when they are golden brown, and float to the
top of the skillet. ( I like to use a Dutch Oven). Be sure to drain
the potatoes on paper towels. You can keep them warm in the oven
while the other fries are done.
When all french fries are done cooking, and drained place them onto
a platter. Salt the french fries if you like, and sprinkle on cheese
and cooked bacon. Pop these back into a warm oven until the cheese
begins to melt.
Dipping Sauce:
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1 Tbsp. Prepared Horseraddish
dash Cayenne Pepper
dash Salt
dash black pepper
Combine all ingredients and mix well.
