Instructions

3. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
**Caramelized Onions:**

6. Add Worcestershire sauce and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
**Secret Sauce:**
7. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, vinegar, and sugar until well combined. Set aside.
**Assembling the Fries:**
8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot fries and allow it to melt.
9. Top with caramelized onions and drizzle the secret sauce generously.
10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
– For extra crispy fries, soak the potato slices in cold water for 30 minutes before baking.
– You can also air fry the fries at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes for a faster, crunchier result.
– If you prefer classic fast-food fries, use frozen French fries instead of fresh potatoes.
