1
Prepare the Fries
Wash and cut the potatoes into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2
Fry the Potatoes
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
3
Make the Gravy
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
4
Assemble the Poutine
Place a generous portion of fries on a plate, ladle the chicken gravy over the fries, and top with cheese curds. Serve immediately.
