Toppings

Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into thick strips to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut fries in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry the Fries

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove moisture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Immediately season with salt to taste.

Beef Gravy Preparation

  1. 6

    Make a Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it turns golden brown.

  2. 7

    Add Beef Stock

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

  3. 8

    Season the Gravy

    Add the soy sauce and black pepper to the gravy. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the gravy has thickened.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Layer the Fries

    Place a generous portion of hot fries on a serving plate.

  2. 10

    Add Gravy

    Pour the hot beef gravy over the fries, ensuring they are well covered.

  3. 11

    Top with Cheese Curds

    Sprinkle the cheese curds generously on top of the gravy.

  4. 12

    Garnish with Chives

    Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them on top for garnish.
