Instructions

1Slice potatoes into finger-width fries and rinse them well to remove any dirt.

-
3Heat oil to 185°C (365°F).
-
4Cook sliced potatoes in the oil for about 5 minutes.
-
5Following a first frying to cook the potatoes, they are often removed and then fried again for about 1 minute to crisp the outside.

6Remove the fries from the oil; optionally place them on a paper towel mat to absorb excess oil.
-
7Move the fries to a serving dish and put room-temperature cheese curds over the fries.
-
8Pour the gravy over the top; the dish should be served before the cheese curds start to melt.
