Cottage fries, in this area tend to be square cut and larger than the cube cut hash brownsw. Ordering "home fries" here will get you sliced, fried taters. Cottage fries are also known as American fries in some of the local joints. DD> I promise if you wolf down the whole thing you may not want lunch. SD> Even for my ravenous maw, it's a lot of food!

The cheese sauce bites the bitter carrot. The original called for Olde English Cheddar. Putting plastic cheeseoid like Velveeeta in your sauce might prompt a visit from the County Health Department to see what other things have been played "fast and loose". Bv)= Here's my horseshoe recipe. The sauce recipe I got from the owner of Ritz' lil Fryer who learned it workig for Wayne Combs who was working in the kitchen of the Leland Hotel when the first horseshoe was made and served. It's a close to authenic as I can get without using Olde Englis Cheddar. BUT NEVER VELVEETA!!!! MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Springfield Horseshoe Sandwich Categories: Breads, Classic, Cheese, Meat Yield: 4 Servings 8 sl Bread; toasted 8 oz (to 12) meat(s) * Hot french fries Paprika MMMMM----------------------HORSESHOE SAUCE--------------------------- 12 oz Shredded Cheddar cheese 2 tb Butter 1 ts Worcestershire sauce 1/4 ts Dry (Colman's) mustard 1/4 ts Ground red pepper 2 Egg yolks 1/2 c Stale beer * Original meat in a Horseshoe was ham. Any meat can be (and probably has been) used. My favourite is half- hamburger and half crispy bacon. Seafood also works well on this delight. In a saucepan, melt together cheese and butter over low heat. Stir in Worcester sauce, mustard and cayenne. Beat the yolks and beer together and add to the sauce pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and begins to bubble around the edges. Makes 4 cups. On preheated dinner plates, arrange 2 toast slices each. Top toast with meat. Pour a generous amount of Horseshoe Sauce over meat. Encircle each sandwich with hot french fries. Sprinkle paprika (or cayenne) over sauce. Makes 4 servings.
