JERSEY DISCO FRIES

A Jersey diner staple -- great for when you're feeling extra sinful or late at night when you need to sober up.

Provided by Kristine at Food.com

Categories     Potato

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (28 ounce) package frozen steak-style French fries (waffle and shoe string cut also work great)
1 (15 ounce) jar Cheez Whiz (or your favorite packaged cheese sauce)
1 (10 ounce) jar prepared gravy (chicken or beef gravy)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Arrange steak fries in a single layer in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. baking sheet.
  • Salt and pepper as desired.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. (Check the frozen fries' packaging for alternate baking directions).
  • About 5 minutes before the fries are finished baking, pour the gravy in a small pot and warm on the stove over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  • Empty the cheese sauce in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a sheet of paper towel (to protect against splattering). Heat the sauce on high for 30 seconds, then stop and stir the sauce.
  • Repeat microwaving the cheese sauce on high for 30-second intervals for about 2 to 3 total minutes. (You want to heat it enough that it becomes easily pourable).
  • Take fries out of the oven and place on a large platter.
  • Pour gravy over the fries.
  • Then pour on the cheese sauce. Add as much cheese and gravy as you want -- some like their disco fries drier; others like them drowning.

DISCO ZUCCHINI FRIES



Disco Zucchini Fries image

Who remembers the bliss of ordering late-night disco fries at the diner? At home, this baked zucchini twist is a bit more virtuous - but still totally hits the spot.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Non-stick cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
2 large eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 pound zucchini (2 to 3 small to medium zucchini) cut into 3-inch-by-1/4-inch sticks
1 cup shredded Cheddar
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) chicken gravy
4 pieces cooked bacon, crumbled
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Adjust 2 oven racks to the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Put the wire racks in the baking sheets and coat each generously with cooking spray.
  • Combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Combine the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in another large plastic bag; combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a third large plastic bag.
  • Add about a half of the zucchini sticks to the bag with the flour and use a combination of your hands and shaking the bag to coat the zucchini. Remove the zucchini and shake off any excess flour. Transfer to the egg wash and repeat until coated. (It's less messy if you use only one hand for the dry ingredients and the other for the wet.) Let any excess egg drip off before transferring to the breadcrumb mixture; repeat until fully coated (you'll still see some green and white of the zucchini peeking through the breading). Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and coat the breaded zucchini generously with cooking spray (there's no need to turn them). Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom about halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Lower the oven to 350 degrees F and let the baking sheet cool for a few minutes. Remove the rack from one of the baking sheets and line the baking sheet with foil. Slide the fries onto the baking sheet and arrange them in four equal piles. Scatter both cheeses equally over the piles and bake until melted, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, warm the gravy. When the cheese is melted, use a spatula to lift each batch of cheese fries and place it on its own plate. Drizzle the gravy over the cheese fries and top with the bacon and scallions.
