These skillet fries give potatoes the Philly Cheesesteak treatment. This recipe from The Two Bite Club gives poutines a run for their money, as they are considerably less runny without the gravy. Instead, the crinkly french fries are topped not just with cheese, but chopped veggies and thinly sliced steak -- in short, the ingredients you would find on a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.
You can prepare your own skillet fries at home by adding olive oil, mushrooms, onion and bell peppers in all colors. You will also need shredded white American cheese. Although this blog used crinkle cut french fries, you could also try it with waffle fries. The result is a very sharable dish perfect for game night or other casual gatherings.
