Instructions
Making your own Disco Fries is a straightforward process. Here’s how to do it in just a few simple steps:
1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the russet potatoes into fries. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with paper towels.
2. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3. Fry the Potatoes: Carefully add the cut fries into the hot oil in batches. Fry for approximately 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Season: While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to enhance their flavor.
5. Assemble the Fries: On an oven-safe plate or baking dish, layer the crispy fries, then generously sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
6. Melt the Cheese: Place the dish in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Heat the Gravy: While the fries are in the oven, heat the gravy in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering.
8. Top with Gravy: Once the cheese is melted, remove the fries from the oven and pour the hot gravy over the top.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired for a pop of color and flavor.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Disco Fries hot, soaking in the amazing combination of cheese and gravy!
