TEXAS FRIES
My version of the Riscky's BBQ Original. They offer them as an appetizer but I can make a meal of it. While the real thing is best, one serving equals my total monthly fat allotment. I skinnied it down by sauteeing the onions & peppers rather than dropping them in the deep fryer as they do. I also prefer to oven bake fresh cut potatoes.We like them to put the quick back in our step so I pepper heavily. Fork required!

Steps:
- Bake or fry potatoes, whichever you prefer.
- Pour oil in a large skillet. Add onions & jalapenos & cook, stirring often, till onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
- **We prefer the canned jalapenos because the vinegar seeps into the onions while cooking & flavors the whole dish. If using fresh peppers, you may need either more oil or a dash of vinegar.
- Spoon half the onion/pepper mixture onto a serving dish. Top with hot fries. Add remaining onion & peppers.
- Salt to taste but pepper liberally.
- To make it authentic, serve with ranch dressing for dipping rather than ketchup.

SKINNY TEXAS CHEESE FRIES
Guiltless cheesy seasoned fries topped with veggie bacon, jalapenos and scallions served with a cool low-fat buttermilk ranch on the side. So when it's cheese fries you are craving, make them yourself and you'll save hundreds of calories and have better portion control preparing it yourself. A half order at Chili's is a whopping 1260 calories and 89 grams of fat, yikes!! This recipe is a serving for two, if you want to make this into a meal, why not serve a large fresh garden salad on the side, with more ranch dressing! You'll have those carbs you crave and feel completely satisfied. Leave the skin on for added fiber, and this recipe uses a full fat cheddar so that the cheese melts beautifully, Just use less of it and it will be great. if you prefer using reduced fat cheese, Cabot and Sargento are two brands that are good to use. I have tweaked the recipe, using veggie bacon. From skinny taste.

Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for Texas fries because they are starchy and hold their shape well during frying.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water before frying: This will help remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
- Fry the potatoes in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- Don't overcrowd the pan: This will cause the fries to stick together and not cook evenly.
- Fry the potatoes in batches: This will help prevent the oil from getting too cool and the fries from becoming greasy.
- Season the fries with salt and pepper immediately after frying: This will help the seasonings adhere to the fries.
- Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces for Texas fries include ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, and barbecue sauce.
