Method

Frites

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to resemble fries.

  2. 2

    Cook the Frites

    Toss the potato strips in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

White Gravy

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon and Sausage

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and chop into small pieces. In the same skillet, add the smoked sausage and sauté until browned.

  2. 4

    Make the Roux

    Add the flour to the skillet with the bacon and sausage drippings. Stir for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

  3. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture thickens. Season with black pepper. Stir in the chopped bacon and sausage. Keep warm.

Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Butter

    Melt the butter in a saucepan and keep it warm.

  2. 7

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a heat-proof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until thick.

  3. 8

    Combine the Ingredients

    Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with a pinch of salt.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Place a generous serving of frites on a plate. Pour the white gravy over the frites and drizzle with hollandaise sauce. Top with sliced green onions.
