1
Cut the Potatoes
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick to resemble traditional fries.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will make the fries crispier.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Fry the Potatoes
Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add a batch of potatoes to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle salt over them to taste.

6
Melt the Butter
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it is bubbling.
7
Make the Roux
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking continuously for about 2-3 minutes until it turns a light golden color.
8
Add Beef Broth
Slowly whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the gravy begins to thicken.
9
Flavor the Gravy
Stir in the soy sauce and black pepper. Let the gravy simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
