Ingredients

  • 2 lb russet potatoes, cut into fries
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups fresh cheese curds

Steps

  1. Roast the fries with oil at 425°F for 35 minutes, turning once.
  2. Melt butter, whisk in flour 2 minutes, add broth and Worcestershire, and simmer until thickened.
  3. Pile hot fries on plates, scatter curds, and pour gravy over.
  4. Serve at once.

TipUse hot gravy and hot fries so the curds soften but do not fully melt.
