Jersey Diner-Style Disco Fries image

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of McCain Foods. The opinions and text are all mine. #JoyintheKitchen. These Disco Fries are a New Jersey diner classic. Crunchy crinkle-cut fries get bathed in an easy homemade gravy and gooey mozzarella cheese. What's one food that instantly reminds you of home? For me, it's (without a doubt) Disco Fries. If you haven't spent much time in Jersey, you probably don't know what Disco Fries are. Kind of like the Jersey version of Canada's Poutine, Dis

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds of McCain Seasoned Crinkle Fries
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Brown gravy (recipe follows)
Parsley, for serving
3 cups beef stock
1 small shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup flour
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Sea salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425. Spread the fries in one single layer on a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Cook the fries until golden and crispy, according to the package directions.
  • While the fries are cooking, make the gravy. Melt the butter in a sauce pan and add the shallot and garlic. Season with sea salt and pepper. Cook until the shallot and garlic are softened. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, another 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the beef stock while constantly stirring to avoid lumps. Add in the Worcestershire and season to taste with salt and pepper (if needed). Bring the gravy to a bubble and simmer 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
  • When the fries are done, remove them from the oven and evenly sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted. Pour the warm gravy on top and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
