OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE AUSSIE FRIES

Provided by Stephanie Manley

Categories     Appetizer

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds french fries
1 cup colby jack cheese (shredded)
4 ounces bacon (cooked crisp)
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Divide the bag of fries in half and use the other half later.
  • Heat oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a thermometer, make sure the oil is hot enough so that when you set a French fry in the oil, 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. (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 cooking.
  • When all French fries are cooked and drained, place them on 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.

Provided by á-174942

Number Of Ingredients 18

AUSSIE CHIPS:
2 medium russet potatoes
6 cups vegetable oil or shortening
SEASONING:
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon ground thyme
ON THE SIDE:
Ranch dressing
AUSSIE CHEESE FRIES:
A plate of cloned Aussie Chips (from above recipe)
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 bacon slice cooked
ON THE SIDE:
Ranch dressing

Steps:

  • For the Aussie Chips: Preheat oil to 375 degrees fahrenheit in a deep fryer. Cut potatoes into french fry slices using a vegetable slicer or mandolin. It's important to use a gadget for the slicing so that the fries will all be the same thickness, and will cook evenly. Submerge all of the sliced potatoes in a large bowl fill with cold water for 30 minutes. Combine all of the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. Remove potato slices from the water and onto a clean towel. Blot dry. Fry potato slices for 8 to 12 minutes in hot oil until light brown. Drain fries on a rack or paper towels and sprinkle with some of the seasoning. Pile the fries on a plate and serve with ranch dressing on the side, if desired. For the Aussie Cheese Fries: Prepare the clone for the Aussie Chips and arrange the seasoned fries on an oven-safe plate. Preheat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Mix the cheeses together and sprinkle the blend over the fries. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the cheese. Bake the plate for 4 to 5 minutes in the hot oven, until cheese is melted. Serve with ranch dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • For the perfect cheese fries, use russet potatoes. They're the best type of potato for frying because they're starchy and have a fluffy interior.
  • Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick fries. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the fries in cold water for 30 minutes. This will help to remove the starch from the potatoes, which will make them crispy.
  • Dry the fries thoroughly before frying them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Fry the fries in a large pot of hot oil (375 degrees F) until they're golden brown and crispy. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Drain the fries on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Season the fries with salt, pepper, and Outback Steakhouse's signature seasoning blend.
  • Top the fries with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled blue cheese, and chopped bacon.
  • Serve the fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

These copycat Outback Aussie Cheese Fries are the perfect appetizer or side dish for any occasion. They're crispy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor. So next time you're craving a delicious and satisfying snack, give these fries a try. You won't be disappointed!
