  I am sure you have uncovered the recipe for Outback Aussie Cheese Fries.  
  I don't mean the one that says "frozen fries, cheese and bacon."  It was 
  on Top Secret Recipes - with spices listed - and I made it and everyone 
  loved it.  I didn't realize they don't keep recipes active..  I am having 
  a bunch of people over for my husband's birthday and had planned to make 
  those fries but can't find the recipe now and I didn't print it out.  
  HELP!  I tried searching the archives but was unable to locate anything.  
  I appreciate any info you can give me!!

Hello Heather,

The recipe below is the one that was on "Top Secret Recipes".

Phaed

  Aussie Chips

  2 medium russet potatoes 
  6 to 8 cups vegetable oil or shortening 

  Seasoning 
  1 tablespoon salt 
  1 teaspoon garlic powder 
  3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 
  1/2 teaspoon onion powder 
  1/8 teaspoon ground thyme 

  On the side
  ranch dressing

  1. Preheat oil to 375 degrees in a deep fryer. 
  2. Cut potatoes into french fry slices using 
  a vegetable slicer or mandolin. It's 
  important to use a gadget for the slicing so 
  that the fries will all be the same 
  thickness, and will cook evenly. Submerge 
  all of the sliced potatoes in a large bowl 
  fill with cold water for 30 minutes. 
  3. Combine all of the seasoning ingredients 
  in a small bowl and set aside.
  4. Remove potato slices from the water and 
  onto a clean towel. Blot dry.
  5. Fry potato slices for 8 to 12 minutes in 
  hot oil until light brown. Drain fries on a 
  rack or paper towels and sprinkle with some 
  of the seasoning. Pile the fries on a plate 
  and serve with ranch dressing on the side, 
  if desired.

  Serves 4 to 6.

  Aussie Cheese Fries

  plate of cloned Aussie Chips (from above 
  recipe)

  1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  1 bacon slice, cooked

  On the side
  ranch dressing

  1. Prepare the clone for the Aussie Chips 
  and arrange the seasoned fries on an oven-
  safe plate. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Mix the cheeses together and sprinkle the 
  blend over the fries. Crumble the bacon and 
  sprinkle it over the cheese. Bake the plate 
  for 4 to 5 minutes in the hot oven, until 
  cheese is melted. Serve with ranch dressing 
  on the side.
