The key here is your potatoes and cheese. Potatoes will give us the crisp exterior and soft interior while the cheese brings in that addictive creamy, gooey factor. Bacon adds a nice crunchy and salty touch. Also, remember – your fries are only as good as your gravy!
How To Make Dirty Fries
- To start off, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Heat the oil in your deep fryer or skillet.
- Fry the potatoes until they turn golden brown. Take them out and drain any excess oil.
- Arrange the fries on a plate, sprinkle the cheese on top, followed by chopped crispy bacon.
- Now the fun part, drench everything in hot gravy and watch the cheese melt. Sprinkle chopped green onions & season with salt. There you have it, some killer Dirty Fries ready to devour.
Tips For The Best Results
- Make sure your oil is hot enough before you add the fries, to ensure they become crispy.
- Use freshly grated cheese rather than pre-grated. It melts much better.
Storage Tips
- To be honest, dirty fries are best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate them and heat up moderate amounts as needed.
