Gravy Fries

This is a delicious indulgence if you love potatoes and gravy. Makes a great side for burgers.

Serves 4
2.5 lbs baking potatoes
Olive oil
Garlic Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 shallot, minced
2 cups beef stock
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard

Preheat oven to 425ยบ

Cut the potatoes in thick wedges (I did, you can cut them however you like, thin or whatever) Place them on a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle garlic salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread into an even layer.

If you cut them thick, bake for 20min, flip them and bake another 10min.

In the mean time, place a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add the 2 tbsp butter, melt. Add minced shallot & cook 1-2 minutes.

Add flour to make a roux. Cook 3-4 minutes, whisking till golden in color. Whisk in beef stock, slowly. Add in mustard & season with salt & pepper.

Turn heat to low till fries are done. (if it's not thick enough, add more flour)

You can put the fries in a bowl & pour the gravy over them, or use it as a dipper. If you pour it over, it's good covered in shredded mozzarella!
YUM!
