Instructions:
- Prepare the Pulled Pork: a. Season the pork shoulder or butt with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. b. In a slow cooker, add the chopped onion and minced garlic as a bed for the pork. c. Place the seasoned pork on top of the onions and garlic. d. Pour the barbecue sauce and chicken or vegetable broth over the pork. e. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours until the pork is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork. f. Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
- Prepare the French Fries: a. While the pulled pork is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350-375°F (175-190°C). b. In batches, fry the cut potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy, usually for about 3-4 minutes per batch. c. Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt immediately.
- Assemble the Pulled Pork French Fries: a. Place the crispy french fries on a serving platter or individual plates. b. Spoon the tender pulled pork over the fries. c. You can add more barbecue sauce or other toppings like coleslaw, pickles, or shredded cheese for extra flavor.
Pulled pork french fries are a great combination of textures and flavors, with the crispy fries providing a satisfying contrast to the tender and savory pulled pork. Enjoy this comfort food as a meal or as a delicious snack for special occasions or game day gatherings.
