- 8 ounces cheese curds
- 2 large baking potatoes (scrubbed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- seasoned salt ( to taste)
- 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
Steps
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.
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.
Place the hot fries on a serving plate and top with cheese curds. Pour very hot gravy over the fries and cheese.
Serve immediately.
