Chef tips
To keep the fries crispy under the thick gravy, make sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly after cutting and before frying, and only add the gravy right before serving. For a kosher version, swap the cheese curds for small cubes of firm mozzarella or seared halloumi; kids will have a blast helping sprinkle the cheese over the hot, golden fries.
