Fries

Toppings

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thick strips to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the fries

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the potatoes

    Drain and pat dry the soaked potatoes. Fry them in the hot oil in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Season the fries

    Remove fries from the oil, drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with salt to taste.

Gravy

  1. 6

    Make the roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Add beef broth

    Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 8

    Season the gravy

    Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Allow to simmer until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Combine components

    On a plate or in a bowl, layer the hot fries, then pour the hot gravy over them.

  2. 10

    Add cheese curds and chives

    Top with cheese curds and sprinkle with chopped chives. Serve immediately while hot.
