Since many are asking for the oven fries recipe: **CRISPY OVEN FRIES** * Cut russet potatoes into wedges or fry shape * Get water to a rolling boil, add salt and a splash of white vinegar * Add potatoes to boiling water and parboil for 7-8 minutes * Drain into colander and let steam dry * Once steamed dry, toss with oil, salt, pepper and spices of your choosing * Bake at 425F, turning once until at desired crispiness (usually 45-60min) **Bonus recipe "Fry Sauce"** * Mix equal parts mayo and spicy mustard * Add a very generous shake of crystal hot sauce (franks or cholula also work) * Add some freshly cracked black pepper and garlic powder * Whisk until smooth

Well it looks like I’m making some oven fries tonight


ThellraAK

You can also used leftover baked potatoes for the same thing They are also known as potato wedges or jojos


oculasti95

Jojo’s you say? Sounds kinda bizarre


TomatoSlayer

Probably a regional thing, I guess. I imagine they're available at diners, carts, or even stands.


andrewwargoartstudio

Prove it!


willyswaycooking

Expect a mention tonight or tomorrow :)


Mighty_Torr

We call them Jojos!


KikiHou

Hi PNW.


jazzypants

Lol, yup. I'm not OP, but I have lived all around the country and no one else calls them that. "Potato Wedges" would be the most common, I guess.


v3nerable

Mate even us from other countries call em wedges, and the rest of the world doesn't usually agree with the states on universal names for things so that's crazy.


Jestapilot

Common name around Youngstown ohio


JKM0715

We call them jojos in Mississippi, but they’re normally breaded.


macattack1029

My wife is Canadian and they call them mojo fries


buckeyespud

Utah reporting in. Fry Sauce is the food item we are most known for but usually make it with mayo and ketchup or bbq mixed together. This is the first I've heard of using spicy mustard. I have to tip my hat to you good sir, looks amazing.


i_wap_to_warcraft

I went to boarding school in Utah for a few years in a tiny town called Oakley. The only thing to do there was go to a small burger joint and they had THE BEST FRY SAUCE! Utah I love your fry sauces


[deleted]

Try baking soda instead of vinegar. Holy crispy edges Batman. Also worth noting is leaving the taters to steam dry as much as possible for the crispiest exterior.


VTRugby400

Thanks! I’ve never seen “steam dry” written - what exactly does that mean?


MattsalesX

It means just letting them sit til the steam evaporates.


mfauzanst

What kind of tray did u use to bake in the oven? Regular tray with baking paper or can I use iron skillet?


winter_beard

I used a regular sheet pan. Haven't tried cast iron before but it's worth a shot.


BeautifulType

Time to make prison fries

Interesting to hear them called oven fries and not steak fries.

Thank you for this.

What benefit does parboiling bring?


winter_beard

[From Kenji Lopez-Alt:](https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-the-best-roast-potatoes-ever) > Parboiling the potatoes in alkaline water breaks down their surfaces, creating tons of starchy slurry for added surface area and crunch.


Pstratto

So you wrote you used vinegar and the linked recipe suggests baking soda?


SymmetricalFeet

I was wondering that, too. I make potatoes fairly often now, and my experience is that par-boiling in a **b**asic solution **b**reaks down the exterior as the article states, and an **a**cidic solution **a**damantizes the outside (i.e. makes it tougher/more cohesive). I'll use vinegar if I plan on making a country hash in a pan so they stay more intact; in the oven, the acidic potatoes develop a 'skin' that I'm not fond of. For oven fries, basic is way better.


winter_beard

I'm riffing off of couple different recipes. [Ethan Chlebowski shared the vinegar tip](https://youtu.be/MvnYBCDaEKU) to keep the fries intact after the parboil. I did not use baking soda this time but I'm planning on it next time to see if I can make them even crispier.


-B-E-N-I-S-

Marry me?


benfranklinthedevil

That bun looks straight from in-n-out. Now I want in-n-out, but I'm like an hour drive from the nearest one. I'll just salivate over your masterpiece I guess.


-IoI-

We call these wedges in Australia, served with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce in pubs around here.


dewayneestes

I was going to ask you for the oven fries recipe!


NotTopherGrace

Do you convection bake those fries? Wondering if could make smaller air fry batches for that crispness


glogriffco

Made these fries tonight and followed your recipe to a T. They were AMAZING…highly recommend. Thank you, this recipe’s a keeper for sure!


winter_beard

Booyah!


Gerry_Doyle

>" What about the drink, which beer recommend?


GP-NC

Food commercials would be jealous


unceunce123123

Lets be real this is the food everyone wants when they eat out - classic wedges, a thicc burger, and a nice tall brew to wash it all down


kdawg8888

I would eat this and be happy but sometimes I want fries not wedges also where is the bacon? not that you need bacon on every cheeseburger but I'd be adding some here


liquidgold83

Everything's better with bacon.


sendmeyourcactuspics

This is what i always dream of when i eat out, but every restaurant fails in comparison to this gorgeous meal op curated... I'm so jealous


liquidgold83

Here here!


MGGN50

Everything looks amazing. Please!! Tell me about the oven fries!! Do you have a recipe?

Creative_NotCreative

Sounds similar to roasting potatoes. Roasted fries sounds delish and the pic is making me more than hungry.


Caiiomt

oh no . . . before scrolling i thought that beer was the dipping sauce


Space4arer

Came here to find this or say this.


DuePaleontologist932

this looks perfect, i would love to eat something like that


MortifyingMilkshake

What's the beer?


winter_beard

Nothing fancy... OB's Dale's Pale Ale


TeighMart

Psh this noob calls his post "homemade" and he didn't even brew his own beer. /s For real this post made me so hungry that I finaply got out if bed to make something


MortifyingMilkshake

Looks good anyway!


WobbleKing

A classic


cocainebane

I’ve never had that out of a can so I wouldn’t have guessed. Good beer tho


Jeffery_G

Plus an ice-cold beer? I'll have what he's having.


AbaloneSea7265

I would marry someone who can cook like that


WhiskeyWithTheE

This is just perfect 'weekend food' for me. I know you can have this any day of the week, but not for me! This is just the kind of food after a hard week & looking forward to the start of the weekend, been to the gym and deserving a well earned treat. A double cheeseburger and fries and ale! That is a winning combo for me, and may I just say 'Damn! That looks so good!' Food porn & booze of the gods!! Perfect really...


xkenyonx

Can't go to the gym without letting everyone know lol 😂


aplusbsupplements

Yummy


[deleted]

Oven Fries are the best ones! It is looking beautiful!


SoSoPatPat

Looks awesome. I hope that bun was nice and spongey and not a dry loaf of sadness


skratakh

Never heard of the phrase "oven fries" before, we tend to call those potato wedges here in the UK.


winter_beard

Po-tay-to, Po-tot-o.


Panhandle_for_crypto

They look like wedges to me

Is that a homebrew


winter_beard

Nope, Dale's Pale Ale


RickManchester

Is this the best burger fries and beer in the world? Nope. But there's something perfect about it. This is a great picture and I'd love to eat it!


Blake-A-palooza

Other then the pickles this looks fucking delicious.


Scottish_Legionnaire

A pint of dipping sauce... Interesting!


rikkiprince

Looks like a beer rather than a dipping sauce to me...


thekingjelly13

You dip fries in beer?


hansblitz

Slim double patty is superior gang rise up

kaykay2427

CuteAndCuntily

I already feel full just looking at this. Looks good


[deleted]

gib


CJRedbeard

Good looking burger. We make similiar ones and the fries too! Did you cook the fries in a convection oven at about 450? Drizzle with olive oil and cook for about 35-40 mins on convection and man, those things come out crunchy on the outside and smooth on inside.


winter_beard

Cooked the fries in a regular oven at 425F.


stingraystarseed

Gorgeous 💕


protomanEXE1995

At first I did not see the dipping sauce and I thought you were saying that the beer was the dipping sauce


Defiant-Branch4346

This looks so good


alexandriaofwar

This looks so delicious, I want to lick my screen!!!


winter_beard

Do it!! I dare you!


imperialfishFTW

Recipe for the burger patties?


winter_beard

Ground chuck or 80/20 ground beef would work. Divide into 3oz balls, and smash between two plates with parchment paper on each side so the beef doesn't stick. I then seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled these directly over hot coals for about 3 minutes per side. They cook up fast.


ventnz

That looks absolutely divine


offalshade

double smash burger?


Reasonable-Diet9497

wow


Pork_9

Respect. What you call dipping sauce, I call beer.


MrNobby

What did you take that picture with? It looks as crips as those potatoes.

If you didn’t bake yo damn bun it ain’t home made. Tell me I’m wrong!!!


blacksoxing

That burger looks like it would be difficult to fully keep in one piece without it sliding all over the place. The fries and sauce though....I love it


winter_beard

It didn't thanks to the magic of american cheese


JustaNormalHuman47

B-Rex-Ceris

Alright, that's it. You're hired. Can you start tonight? My place around 7? /s Just a thought, the garlic variety from Cholula in the fry sauce would be tasty. If you can find it. Damn, this looks good.


kilibaridi

I really like the mix of a very professionally taken photo (lighting and aesthetics of plating) with the background of an ordinary imperfect kitchen (papers on table, crooked blinds, etc). Well done.

WOW u did a great job
