Best Pork Belly Disco Fries Recipes

DISCO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (or the temperature indicated on the package of french fries). Spray a large rimmed baking pan with cooking spray.
• Spread the fries in the pan in a single layer and spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake according to the package directions or until very crispy.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Slowly add the broth while whisking constantly and occasionally stirring with a rubber spatula, making sure to get into the edges of the pan, until all of the broth has been incorporated. Add the cream and increase the heat to medium-high to bring to a rapid simmer. Simmer, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer half of the fries to a small rimmed baking pan or oven-safe platter. Top with half of the cheese, then add the remaining fries and the rest of the cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Drizzle the fries with some of the gravy. Serve immediately.

EASY CRISPY PORK TENDERS OR PORK FRIES

Steps:

• Pour two to three inches of oil in a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed stockpot or saucepan. If you have a deep-fryer, you could use that in place of the frying pan. If using the pan, place over medium high heat and bring oil to 375°. Line a plate with several layers of paper towels and set aside.F
• Whisk together the milk and egg in a medium sized mixing bowl. Whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Set these aside.
• Slice the pork chops lengthwise into paper thin strips, about 1/8-inch thick at the thickest points. Separate the slices and toss in the flour mixture until the strips are coated evenly in flour. Lift and shake the excess flour from the strips and lay out in a single layer on a clean baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Working with one strip at a time, dip it into the milk and egg mixture, lift and allow the excess liquid to drain off, then toss once again in the flour mixture before carefully lowering into the oil. Repeat until you have a single layer of the pork fries in the hot oil.
• Let the pork strips fry for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the breading is crispy and the internal temperature of the pork reaches at least 145°F at it's thickest part on an instant read thermometer. Use tongs to transfer to the paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the rest of the pork.
• When the pork fries or crispy pork tenders are fresh from the fryer oil, sprinkle lightly with kosher or sea salt. Serve immediately with the dip of your choice.

SUNNY'S LOADED DISCO FRIES

Steps:

• In a large pot over low heat, add the shredded chicken and stock. Heat gently for 15 minutes to reheat and rehydrate the chicken.
• In a large pan with straight sides on medium heat, add the butter, oil, onions, a pinch of salt and a hefty amount of pepper. Cook until the onions are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Then, add the mustard, red chili flakes, thyme and garlic. Cook a few minutes to combine, then add the flour and cook until you can't smell the flour anymore, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the chicken stock from the pot of chicken (reserve the chicken) and slowly add the stock to the pan, stirring. Cook until thickened to a gravy consistency, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fry the crinkle fries according to the package instructions.
• Toss the parsley with the reserved chicken. In a shallow serving bowl, add the fries, some cheese, the chicken, more cheese, the gravy, bacon and scallions.

DISCO FRIES

Steps:

• For the gravy: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook the flour until dark brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the stock and cook, whisking, until the mixture is smooth and thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the sherry, Worcestershire, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Remove from the heat and cover by pressing a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the gravy, taking care to cover it completely to prevent a skin from forming. Set aside.
• For the fries: Bake the French fries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• For the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook until the mixture resembles sand, about 3 minutes. Add the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to boil and thicken, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the Cheddar and Gruyere and continue to cook, stirring, until the cheese is fully melted, another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the Worcestershire, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat. Cover in the same fashion as the gravy and set aside until the French fries are ready.
• When the French fries are ready, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the fries with the warm gravy and then with the warm cheese sauce. Serve immediately.

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour, stirring constantly and cooking until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
• While whisking, add the beef broth in a slow, steady stream to the roux , then add the minced shallots and garlic. Stirring regularly, cook the gravy for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency (it will thicken slightly as it rests).
• Once the gravy is simmering, place the frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook according to the package directions.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce, sherry (if using), pepper, and salt when the gravy is nearly done. Stir well to incorporate. Remove the pan from the heat and let rest while the fries finish cooking.
• Remove the fries from the oven and transfer them to a shallow oven-safe serving platter. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 F. Top the fries with the mozzarella cheese and bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
