They’re an easy, flavorful, and fun casual side.
Looking for something fun to serve everyone? These gravy fries are super popular with teenagers. Gravy fries and burgers make the best combo and are a perfect Chol Hamoed Dinner. Serve with crushed tomatoes and Israeli salad for a complete meal.
Make the gravy ahead of time and rewarm before serving. If it thickens too much you can just add a bit of water when warming it up. You can also make the gravy ahead of time and freeze! Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Make this during the year using flour instead of potato starch.
What are fat drippings? If you’re pan-frying your burgers or any meat, you’re left with very flavorful fat in the pan. You can use that to start off this sauce! If you’re using fat drippings, you will have enough flavor and do not need the extra spices.
Gravy Fries
Ingredients
- Homemade or frozen French fries
- ¼ cup oil or fat drippings
- 3 tbsp potato starch
- 3 cups chicken stock (or water mixed with consomme)
Seasoning if you are using oil instead of fat dripping:
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Prepare French fries as desired.
- Prepare the gravy. Heat oil with seasonings or fat drippings.
- Quickly stir in potato starch until it’s incorporated well and cook until it has some color. Add in chicken stock. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. You want it to taste on the salty side.
All gravy colors will differ based on the color of your fat and chicken soup.
