After making the Pork Fries (inspired by Logan’s Roadhouse restaurant), don’t waste those wonderful fried bits left in the pan.  Make gravy!

Once you are done frying up your pork fries, spoon out or pour out any excessive oil, leaving enough to cover the bottom of the pan (and leave the bits that are stuck to the pan). 

Pour in the flour mixture from flouring the strips. (Why waste good flour!  And it is already seasoned!)  Stir the flour into the oil, scraping those good crunchy bits from the pan.  You can throw in some chopped onions at this point, if you like.

Cook the flour until you get a nice rich brown color.  It will be pretty thick.  Pour in about 2 cups of water about a 1/4 cup at a tine and start stirring or whisking.  If you have any clumps or lumps, use a spoon to smash it and keep stirring until you don’t find any more flour clumping.  At this point you can’t have too much water, but you can have too little.  it should be pretty thin, ithe will thicken as the flour cooks and moisture evaporates.  Keep stirring the gravy until you reach the desired consistency.   You can always add more water if it gets too thick or cook it longer to thicken.  Remember it will thicken as it cools.

Serve this luscious gravy over rice, potatoes, biscuits, anything… or just eat it with a spoon, we won’t judge!
