Pulled Pork Fries

I had no idea that my life was missing something. Something incredibly delicious, until these Pulled Pork Fries appeared at a former biker bar turned pub not far from me on a visit with my family years ago. 

Cast iron pan with French fries topped with pulled pork. Garnished with barbecue sauce, scallions and red onions.

I want nothing, and I mean nothing, to do with ketchup on a French fry. Yuck! I mean, would you put ketchup on a baked potato?? Nope!! However, the barbecue sauce with the pulled pork overtop fries? That sings! It's like how a Shepard's Pie just works in my little mind.

Crispy French fries, topped with cheese (or not) and then topped with delicious pulled pork, barbecue sauce and whatever additional toppings you choose is a symphony of flavors.

Make your own or try my Pulled Pork Recipe, or use store-bought.

The flavor and texture of delicious fries mingling with flavorful and tangy pulled pork plus the toppings is fantastic! If you don't want to go to the trouble of making fries, I also love making a pulled pork stuffed sweet potato or baked potato and topping that with pulled pork. Yum!

Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potato So delicious together!

Topping Ideas

  • Jalapenos, onions, pickled jalapenos, pickled red onions, sour cream, barbecue sauce, chives, scallions, fresh herbs, etc.
  • Cheese options include, pepper Jack, Monterrey Jack, cheddar, mozzarella, American, Cooper Sharp, or a mix of two.

Tips

  • Use freshly pulled pork or reheat store-bought.
  • Make your own French Fries or use frozen. Just be sure your crisp them up a bit.
  • Assemble your Pulled Pork Fries just before serving for the best eating experience.
  • If you are lucky enough to have an Amish farmers market nearby, see if they do a overnight BBQ Hogs once a month, that's is wonderful when you can find it!
  • This is meant to be eaten with a fork.

Serve these Fries With Pulled Pork as an appetizer for sharing or as a meal. After all it IS meat & potatoes!

These Pulled Pork Fries are best enjoyed just after making.

If you love potatoes as much as I do, a must try is my Colcannon Recipe (Irish Mashed Potatoes). They are life-altering delicious! Or give my Garlic Parmesan Smashed Potatoes or my Bacon Potato Salad Recipe a go, yum!

Variations

  • Drizzle with sour cream, ranch dressing or a spicy ranch dressing.
  • Change up the type of fries, use Tater Tots or even sliced potatoes, fried up.
  • Swap pulled pork for pulled chicken.

Enjoy! XO Colleen
