Whether you're on a camping trip, or in the mood to cook outside, these fries are best done over a hot fire.

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 cups canola oil

  • 3 large russet potatoes, sliced into 1/2-in. slices

  • 1 large white onion, cut into 1/2-in. slices

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/4 tsp garlic salt

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • SLICE 3 large russet potatoes into 1/2-in. slices. Cut 1 large white onion into 1/2-in. slices.

  • FILL a large pot with 3 to 4 cups canola oil until 1-in. deep. Heat over medium until it reaches 375F on a candy thermometer. Add half the potatoes, then half the onion. Do not crowd pan.
