Pulled Pork Fries are crispy fries piled high with barbecue pulled pork, 2 kinds of cheeses, diced red onion, and jalapenos. Perfect for tailgating!
Hi guys!
Okay, I have to admit that I’m starting to get a little excited about fall. I started thinking about all the fun food that comes along with football season, and I am ready to wrap everything in bacon and cover everything in cheese.
Today, I’ve got a recipe that is perfect right now for barbecue season and will also be perfect in the fall when you need something that’s not going to pull you away from your favorite football team for too long. The pork is slow cooked and the rest of the work is really just piling everything on top of everything else. You’re going to love it!
How to Make Pulled Pork Fries
This is a really simple recipe and requires such little prep.
The pork gets coated in a mixture of paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar, and then is slow cooked until it’s practically falling apart. Then, you shred it and toss it with a bit of barbecue sauce. I would go for something with a little heat but really just use your favorite barbecue sauce.
In the last 30 minutes or so of cooking the pork, put the fries in the oven. Depending on the brand of fries you’re using, you may need more time.
Then, using the same pan you cooked the fries on, layer the fries, the barbecue pulled pork, and then shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheeses. Pop that back in the oven so the cheese can melt.
Once it’s melted, top it with diced red onion and jalapeño slices!
It’s a little bit sweet from the barbecue sauce and a little bit spicy from the jalapeño which you guys know is my favorite combination. And the Dip’n Wedges hold everything so you get potato, pork, cheese, onion, and jalapeño all in one bite. So good.
