2 cups beef or chicken stock
1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

1
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
2
Soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat completely dry.
3
For gravy, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes to make a roux.

Simmer gravy for 8-10 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and keep warm.

Fry potatoes in batches for 3-4 minutes (blanching). Remove and drain.
7
Increase oil temperature to 375°F (190°C) and fry potatoes again for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
8
Place hot fries on serving plates and immediately top with cheese curds.

Pour hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds. Serve immediately while cheese is melting.
