Step 1
Cut potatoes into thin sticks. Pat pork dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 0.5 inch neutral oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until a wooden spoon handle bubbles vigorously when dipped.
Step 3
Toss pork pieces in flour to coat lightly. Working in two batches, fry until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes per batch.
Step 4
Drain pork on paper towels. Pour out oil, leaving 2 tbsp in the skillet. Fry potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes total.
Step 5
While pork and fries cook, boil pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain. Warm milk with butter in a small pot, whisk in cheese until melted.
Step 6
Toss drained pasta with cheese sauce. Serve pork, fries, and mac and cheese together on one plate with salt and hot sauce on the side.
