Gather @potato{900%g}, @cheese curd{300%g}, @vegetable oil{1%l}, @all-purpose flour{30%g} and @black pepper{}.

Cut potatoes into thick fries, then soak in cold water 30 minutes to pull out surface starch; drain and pat completely dry. ~{30%minutes}

Fry the potatoes in batches at 160°C (325°F) for 5 minutes until pale and soft but not browned; drain. ~{5%minutes}

Melt @butter{30%g} in a saucepan, whisk in flour and cook 1 minute, then whisk in @beef stock{500%ml} and simmer until glossy and thickened. ~{5%minutes}

Raise the oil to 190°C (375°F) and fry the potatoes a second time, 3–4 minutes, until deep gold and crackling. ~{210%seconds}

Pile the hot fries onto plates and scatter the cheese curds over immediately.

Ladle the hot gravy over the top and serve at once, before the curds fully melt — they should squeak, not liquefy.
