Did you know that In-N-Out Burger has a secret menu? In all honesty, the secret menu isn’t so secret any more. One of the highlights are the Animal Style Fries.
Nearly all of the cheeseburgers come animal style already, adding gooey American cheese, fried onions and Fry Sauce, but you can also get your fries smothered with the addictive combination.
A cult following of In-N-Out Burger will tell you the animal fries might actually be better than the award winning fast food burgers. It starts with super crispy French Fries piled high with deliciousness. My suggestion, mix them up good and eat them with a fork. Then you can really mop up the awesome sauce.
The key is really in the sauce. A fry sauce that combines ketchup, mustard, dill pickles and mayonnaise with one special ingredient that really gives it a tang. While Fry Sauce tastes great as a dipping sauce for nearly, well, everything, it can also top a burger, hot dog or deli sandwich.
The animal style fries really come into play with the addition of deeply fried onions and American cheese. Want to them up a notch further? Try using my Bacon Jalapeno Fry Sauce for spicy Animal Style Fries! You can also make Onion Strings Animal Style!
The must be deeply caramelized so they achieve a sweet heat to complement the savory sauce and cheese. Make sure you check out the science behind caramelized onions before you get started. Serve your Animal Style Fries with a Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Cowboy Burger or Taco Burger!
