6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups frozen french-fried potatoes
2 cups cheese curds
Chopped parsley
To make the gravy, melt the butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
Add the flour and whisk until it is well incorporated. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the mixture turns golden brown.
Add the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Add the black pepper and set aside. Keep the gravy warm until you're ready to serve.
Meanwhile, prepare the fries according to package directions. Cook them until they're very crispy.
Just before you're ready to serve, place the fries on a serving platter.
Sprinkle them with the cheese curds and ladle the hot gravy on them.
Garnish the platter with chopped parsley.
