We had dirty fries at a restaurant called Archibald Microbrasserie in Quebec city the last time I was there and fell in love with them immediately. What makes these dirty fries special, you ask? Well to me, it’s the banana peppers and the bacon. I would have never thought to put banana peppers on fries before, but trust me when I say that it works. It just works! I just knew that when I was going to get home, I was going to have to make my own version of dirty fries, so here you have it my friends! We’re talking fries loaded with gravy, bacon, banana peppers, green onions, tomatoes, parsley and drizzled with mayo. That’s right, mayonnaise! I mean talk about amazing flavors.
Ingredients
Fries
Fries – I used a bag of McCain shoe string fries, store bought works jut fine for this recipe! Bacon – Chopped up and fried till crispy. Veggies – Chopped tomatoes, pickled banana peppers, and green onions chopped up. Parsley – Fresh chopped up fine to be sprinkled over top. Mayo – To be artfully drizzled over top of our completed dish.
Gravy
Butter – Unsalted as we want to control the sodium content of our dish. Flour – All purpose flour is all we need to thicken the gravy. To make this gravy gluten free sub in 1 tsp of corn starch in place of the flour. Broth – We want low sodium beef broth to create a rich, dark, perfectly salted gravy. Seasoning – Salt and pepper.
