Idaho Fry Sauce

 IDAHO FRY SAUCE

 


 The sauce waiting patiently for the fries to be done.

 

1 Cup + 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise (234g)
½ Cup Ketchup (136g)
¼ Cup sugar (50g)
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1½  teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp dry mustard
⅛ teaspoon paprika
 

Mix it up, keep it in the fridge, covered. It fits great in a pint canning jar.  It tastes better if you let it sit for 30 minutes before use and stir it again.

If you want it more spicy, use more paprika.

It's OK to use light mayo, tastes just as good, and we're trying to save calories while eating french fries.  😅

Speaking of fries, Lamb Weston "Grown in Idaho" Hand Cut fries are really good.  I air fry for 10 minutes at 350 for one serving.  Your mileage may vary.

Waffle of Insane Greatness

 Waffle of Insane Greatness

From  Aretha Frankensteins in Knoxville or Chattanooga, TN via The Food Network

¾ cup flour (90g)    
¼ cup corn starch (40g)    
1½ tsp sugar
¼ tsp baking soda    
½ tsp baking powder    
½ tsp salt    

1 cup buttermilk
⅓ cup vegetable oil
¼ tsp baking soda    
1 egg
¾ tsp vanilla

Combine dry ingredients, mix well.  

Combine milk, oil, egg, and vanilla, whisk it up.

Add wet to dry, mix until smooth.

Let sit covered for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Use ½ cup per thin waffle, cook on medium setting until no longer steaming. I get 4 waffles from one batch.

This can make Belgian style waffles, too, the restaurant does.  I don't know how many you'd get from one batch.  It's about 2 cups of batter, so judge from that.

I've never been to this restaurant, but I think I need to go there!
