Fries

Mac and Cheese

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the fries

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Fry the fries

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the frozen French fries in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

Mac and Cheese

  1. 3

    Cook the macaroni

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the cheese sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk for about 1 minute until the mixture is bubbly and golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add cheese

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 6

    Combine macaroni with cheese sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir well to combine. Set aside.

  1. 7

    Grill or pan-fry the hot links over medium heat until they are heated through and have a nice char, about 5-7 minutes. Slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Maniac Fries Combo

    On a large serving platter, layer the crispy fries, followed by the mac and cheese, and then top with the sliced hot links. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
