Ingredients

Scale

Fries

  • Frozen or fresh potatoes cut into fries (about 4 cups or 400g)
  • Butter or oil for frying or baking (2-3 tbsp)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cheese

  • 1 to 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100-150g)

Gravy

  • 1 packet brown gravy mix or 1½ cups homemade gravy
  • Butter (1 tbsp, if making homemade gravy)
  • Flour (1 tbsp, if making homemade gravy)
  • Beef or vegetable stock (1½ cups, if making homemade gravy)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fries: Bake or fry your fries until golden and crispy. Follow package instructions for frozen fries aiming for extra crispiness. For fresh fries, slice potatoes into sticks, soak in cold water briefly to remove starch, dry thoroughly, then fry or bake until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Make the Gravy: While fries cook, prepare the gravy. If using a packet, whisk according to package directions until smooth and velvety. For homemade gravy, melt butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour to form a roux, then gradually add beef or vegetable stock while stirring. Simmer until thickened and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the Disco Fries: Place hot fries on a serving plate. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the fries. Pour warm gravy over the cheesy fries, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve Immediately: Enjoy Disco Fries hot and fresh to experience the perfect crispy-cheesy-gravy combination at its peak.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated mozzarella cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded.
  • Double-frying fries can result in extra crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
  • Keep gravy warm to help cheese melt perfectly and maintain the dish’s comforting nature.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying or baking fries; cook in batches for optimal crispiness.
  • Thick-cut fries hold up better under cheese and gravy, preventing sogginess.
