Ingredients

• 1 pound frozen French fries
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging of your frozen French fries.

Step 2

Spread the frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake them according to the package instructions until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 3

While the fries are baking, prepare the brown gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

Step 7

When the fries are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large, oven-safe serving dish or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Pour the hot gravy evenly over the fries, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top of the fries and pop the dish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Carefully remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Jersey Disco Fries!
