Share:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cheese curds
Fries
- 2 large baking potatoes scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- seasoned salt to taste
Brown Gravy
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ yellow onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups condensed beef broth
Instructions
To Make the French Fries
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and cut potatoes into ¼" fries. Soak fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, toss fries with olive oil and seasoned salt. Spread on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F, stir the french fries, and continue baking until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
To Make the Gravy
- While the fries bake, heat one teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook diced onion until tender.
- Add minced garlic, thyme, and pepper to the saucepan. Cook the mixture for 2 minutes. Whisk in the butter until melted. Stir in flour, cooking the roux for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned.
- Gradually add the condensed beef broth and 1 cup of water to the saucepan, whisking until smooth after each addition.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 2 minutes. Strain the gravy through a mesh strainer into a pot.
Assembly
- Place the hot fries on a serving plate and top with cheese curds. Pour very hot gravy over the fries and cheese.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Remove cheese curds from the fridge to come to room temperature. This helps it melt when the hot gravy is poured over the top.
- Ensure the fries and the gravy are hot so the cheese curds get melty.
- Use condensed beef broth (or chicken broth or chicken stock if desired) for full flavor.
- Short Cut Tips
- Fries can be cooked in the air fryer or deep fryer.
- Homemade fries can be replaced with frozen fries.
- Leftover gravy or packaged gravy can be used in place of homemade brown gravy.
