Ingredients

Sweet Potato Fries:

Caramelized Onion:

Special Sauce:

  • cup avocado oil mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp yellow onion very finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing a batch of Crispy Sweet Potato Fries. Of course, if you aren’t into sweet potato fries, you can go with your favorite homemade or store-bought fry.
  • Add the avocado oil to a non-stick skillet and heat to medium-high. Add the sliced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent and begins to brown around the edges, about 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue sautéing, stirring occasionally until the onion is deeply brown and caramelized, about 40 minutes.
  • While the onion is caramelizing and the fries are baking, make the special sauce. Simply stir all of the ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Do not that the sauce will become more flavorful as it sits, so if you can make it 1 day ahead of time, feel free to do so!
  • Use a spatula to transfer the sweet potatoes to an oven-safe serving plate (or you can leave them on the baking sheet and simply scoot them closer together).
  • Add your cheese of choice followed by the caramelized onions. Place in the hot oven (it should be around 415 from baking the fries) and allow the cheese to melt - about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the plate (or baking sheet) from the oven and add the special sauce on top. Be sure to serve on top of a heat-safe surface and let your people know the plate is hot!
