In this episode of The Kitchen, Katie Lee Biegel takes her love for bistro-style French onion soup to the next level by transforming it into a delicious and indulgent snack – French onion fries. Inspired by the rich flavors of French onion burgers, Katie decided to combine the classic flavors of caramelized onions and gooey cheese with crispy homemade fries to create a mouthwatering dish that is sure to impress.
To start off, Katie caramelizes thinly sliced yellow onions in butter until they are jammy and deeply golden. She adds white wine, sherry, fresh thyme, and Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavors and create a rich and savory base for the fries.
Meanwhile, she prepares the homemade fries by tossing matchstick-cut russet potatoes in a seasoning mix of onion granules, onion powder, garlic salt, kosher salt, celery seeds, and black pepper. The seasoned potatoes are then coated in avocado oil and baked in the oven until crispy and golden brown.
Once the fries are cooked, Katie tops them with the caramelized onions and a generous amount of grated Gruyère cheese. The fries are then returned to the oven to broil until the cheese is melted and gooey. To finish off the dish, Katie garnishes the fries with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of freshness.
These French onion fries are the perfect combination of crispy, cheesy, and flavorful. They make a great appetizer or can be enjoyed as a meal with a side salad. With a little bit of prep and some patience for caramelizing the onions, you can easily recreate this restaurant-worthy dish at home and impress your family and friends with your culinary skills. So grab your apron and get ready to indulge in these decadent French onion fries – your taste buds will thank you!
