• 1 (10.25 ounce) can beef gravy
• 2 cups cheese curds
• 5 medium potatoes, cut into fries

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).

Step 2

While the oil is heating, begin to warm gravy.

Step 3

Place fries into the hot oil, and cook until light brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cook fries in batches if necessary to allow them room to move a little in the oil. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 4

Place fries on a serving platter, and sprinkle cheese over them. Ladle warmed gravy over the fries and cheese, and serve immediately.
