Method of cooking father and friend reinvented (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pan-fried

'method of cooking' is the definition.
(pan-frying is a method of cooking)

'father and friend reinvented' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'reinvented' indicates anagramming the letters.
'friend' anagrammed gives 'nfried'.
'pa'+'nfried'='PAN-FRIED'
