Units

2 lbs russet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch thick fries
2 cups fresh cheese curds, at room temperature
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef or vegetable stock
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat completely dry with paper towels.
2
Heat oil to 325°F in a deep fryer or heavy pot. Fry potatoes in batches for 3-4 minutes (first fry). Remove and drain on paper towels.
3
For gravy, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux.
4
Gradually whisk in stock, soy sauce, garlic powder, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and keep warm.
5
Increase oil temperature to 375°F. Fry potatoes again for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy (second fry).
6
Immediately season hot fries with salt and place in serving bowls or on a platter.
7
Top fries with cheese curds while fries are still hot.
8
Pour hot gravy generously over the cheese curds and fries. Serve immediately while cheese is melting.
