Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pan
One 28-ounce bag frozen french fries
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 cups shredded mozzarella

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.

Tips:

Pork belly disco fries are a creative twist on classic poutine, combining crispy pork belly with seasoned fries and smothered in flavorful cheese sauce.
To achieve perfectly crispy pork belly, start by scoring the skin and seasoning it generously with salt and pepper. This helps the skin crisp up and develop a delicious crust.
Slow-cook the pork belly at a low temperature to render the fat and create tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat.
Use high-quality cheese for the cheese sauce, such as a sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella. This will ensure a rich and flavorful sauce.
Season the cheese sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper to add depth and complexity to the flavor.
For the fries, choose a variety that is crispy and can hold up to the weight of the toppings. Season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder for extra flavor.
Serve the pork belly disco fries hot and fresh, with extra cheese sauce, green onions, and chopped parsley for garnish.

Conclusion:

Pork belly disco fries are a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that will satisfy any craving. The crispy pork belly, seasoned fries, and rich cheese sauce come together to create a dish that is both indulgent and addictive.
