I am a California girl (San Diego to be exact), so I am sure you probably know which burger place is my favorite. Yes, you are right, In-n-Out burger! I am in love with their burgers and their Animal Style Fries. If you’ve never had Animal Style Fries before, let me tell you what they are. They are French fries covered with In-n-Out Burger’s Secret Sauce, melted cheese, and caramelized onions. They are so good, but definitely not good for you! These Hamburger Animal Style Fries are my Whole30 compatible version and they are so amazing!
Whole30 has a brand new line of Whole30 salad dressing and dipping sauces made by Whole30 that are inspired by Melissa Urban’s own kitchen creations. The new sauce line has five delicious flavors: Buffalo Vinaigrette, Creamy Balsalmic, Elderberry Vinegratee, House Ranch, and Secret Sauce. All sauces are available exclusively at Thrive Market.
I’ve been wanting to make a Whole30 compatible version of Animal Style Fries for the longest time and when I saw that Whole30 came out with a Secret Sauce, I knew the time was now!
Social media already has some rather strong feelings about this new release and most commenters say if you are going to mess with a classic, do it right.
Enter: Burger King. The chain is currently selling a sandwich topped with french fries, mayo and ketchup called the Chip Butty.
However, Burger King is famously all about having it your way so there’s really nothing stopping anyone from ordering any sandwich, taking out the protein and adding fries!
While the Chip Butty is new to Burger King, it’s not all that new to our friends across the pond. In fact, the dish is often found at fish and chips shops. Its made with chips (aka fries) on bread or a roll, often with condiments like ketchup, mayonnaise or malt vinegar on top. The Burger King version sounds strikingly similar to the familiar classic.
TODAYs Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager tried a homemade version of the sandwich on Wednesday.
How I Made These Hamburger Animal Style Fries
- Step one: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step two: Rinse potatoes with skin-on and cut potatoes into desired size fries. Place fries into a bowl of cold water (I put ice in mine) and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch for crispier fries.
- Step three: Remove fries from cold water and dry well. Add fries to a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with avocado oil and salt and pepper to taste. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove from oven, flip fries, and place back in oven. Turn the heat up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for another 20 minutes, or until fries reach desired crispiness.
- Step four: While fries are baking, add ground beef to a meduim-sized skillet over meduim heat. Use a wooden spoon or firm spatula to breakdown ground beef. Season beef with salt and pepper, granulated garlic, and granulated onion, and cook until ground beef has browned. Remove ground beef from skillet, add to a plate and set aside.
- Step five: Add diced onions to ground beef drippings. Cook until onions have softened and caramelized.
- Step six: Add Whole30 Secret Sauce to a small pot over medium heat and heat until warm, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 7: Once fries are out of the oven, cover fries with ground beef, drizzle over Whole30 Secret Sauce, and top with caramelized onions. Serve and Enjoy!
