Vegan In-n-out "Animal Style Fries"
YES! Animal Syle Fries just got veganized. In n out is a very popular fast food restaurant in California. The most popular item on their “not-so-secret-menu” is the “Animal Syle Fries”… French fries, melted american cheese, thousand island sauce and caramelized onions. Sounds insane, But I can tell you…in my pre vegan days I did in fact enjoy them from time to time.
Now I can’t take any of the credit for the idea of veganizing this crazy shenanigans. My boyfriend Chancy is 100% responsible for this one.
We used my simple baked fry recipe, my epic and very popular “cheese” sauce recipe, caramelized some onions and whipped up a vegan thousand island sauce using vegan mayo and before we knew it we re-created a beautiful mater piece.
Now I won’t let you think that it was just two vegans (chancy and I) eating these. I gave some to my non vegan in-n-out loving brother. He was REALLY impressed. Now lets get into the recipe!

- Place wedged potatoes into a gallon bag with all the ingredients
- Seal bag and shake until potatoes look well coated with the spices and herbs.
- Place potato wedges on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper, allow for room in between each potato wedge this way it allows for potatoes to crisp up.
- Bake at 425 F for 30-35 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Meanwhile caramelize the onions in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions in for 12 to 15 minutes in 3 tbsp on water. At this point they should be starting to get some brown colour throughout. Then add salt and stir to combine. Turn down heat to medium low in order to caramelize evenly. They will take another 25 to 35 minutes to get a deep golden brown color.
- Place all thousand island sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until a creamy consistency is reached and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place bell peppers, potatoes and carrots in a pot of boiling water and let boil for 10 minutes or until veggies are soft.
- Place all your nacho cheese sauce ingredients into a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- To assemble, Place fries on a serving dish. Drizzle with a generous amount of cheese sauce, top with caramelized onions, then a generous amount of thousand islands dressing, then more onions on top. Serve while still hot and enjoy with FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
