Ingredients

6 russett potatoes (cut into fries)
oil (for frying)
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 cup white cheese curds
1 1/2 cup gravy (leftover beef gravy is best, but you can also use the recipe below)
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups beef broth
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Cut potatoes into fries and soak for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the fridge). Dry well with paper towels.
Heat oil in deep fryer or large skillet to 300 degrees. Fry fries in batches (try not to overcrowd) of about 5 minutes each to soften. Remove from oil and drain, increase oil temp to 400 degrees and fry again for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Place fries on paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt and place on large plate or platter.
Sprinkle cheese curds evenly over fries and pour hot gravy over the top. Serve immediately.
