Village People in the Village! Boogie Down Disco Fries!
Some DISCO FRIES for late night revelry, in this case after a fantastic performance by The Village People!
Ingredients
The Fries
- • 3 large Idaho potatoes peeled
- • 1/4 lb American cheese sliced thinly
- • salt & pepper to taste
- • 2 tbsp olive oil
The Gravy
- • 2 tbsp butter
- • 2 tbsp flour
- • 1-1/2 cups beef stock
- • salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim potatoes into squared sides. Proceed to slice them into evenly sized fries.
- Make sure the fries are dry. In a large bowl, mix them with oil, salt, & pepper.
- Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking dish and bake at 450° for 45 minutes.
- While they bake, prepare the gravy by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat then adding the flour. Whisk until smooth, making a roux.
- Pour in stock and whisk until it comes to a boil then simmer.
- Season with salt & pepper and simmer until it reaches your desired thickness.
- When the fries are done, place on a foil-lined pan and layer the cheese over them. Broil for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the fries with the gravy poured on or on the side for dipping.
Notes
For the Fries:
Keep an eye on the fries when melting the cheese in the broiler. A little char is one thing but they can be burnt in a blink of the eye. For the Gravy:
The longer you cook the roux, the darker and richer your gravy will be but keep a watch on it.
