Bahamian fries

To be perfectly authentic, this recipe requires a shallow pit in the sand, local twigs and wood, an improvised grate, huge pans, and three-foot-long tongs:

I had to improvise. For starters, I don't live on a beach. Yet.

So, here's my recipe. You'll need oil, onions, potatoes, a mandoline, and a grill. 

First, cut everybody up:

Then, fire up the barbie. Put oil in the pot. Use the charcoal start process to pre-heat the oil (no wasted energy here!!):

Then, cook. Potatoes take longer than onions, hence the second pan. If grill space is an issue, one can make room in the first pan after the spuds are pretty much done:

How long do you cook? Island time, my friends. Island time.

We added burgers (pics did not do them justice) and farm-fresh sweet corn which was microwaved due to time constraints. We don't live on an island. Yet.

Yum!!
