These decadent and fully loaded potato fries are a famous favourite for satisfying late-night cravings. Packed with sweet and salty flavours, layered within creamy textures, this warm and comforting dish will tantalize your taste buds.
Praise for Bacon
I often feel that using bacon in a dish is almost like cheating. Guaranteed to augment the taste sensation of any meal, adding rich flavours and crispy textures. To top it off, bacon generally leaves you with a sweet fatty oil in which to cook any flavour absorbing foods like cream, white sauce, onions or even cabbage. (Wondering about the cabbage? Our Boerewors Spiral with fried Cabbage uses a similar technique).
Fully Loaded Fries Flavour Perfection
The combination of tastes and textures presented to the pallet by this dish is absolutely divine. A melt in your mouth sensation is created by the salty bacon bits, whose fat helped enhance the sweet soft onions, and creamy milk and flour white sauce. Finished off by the rich addition of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, grated together to cover it all.
Then, pour this exquisite sauciness over just-fried real potato chips. Creating a decadent comfort meal of note!
Famous Disco Fries
These amazing fully loaded fries have also been known as Disco Fries amongst the 80s disco culture. Enjoyed as a yummy tummy liner meal before a night of partying or they indulged in as the perfect comfort food for those just home after a night on the town.
