Preheat the rect tech rt300 pellet grill to 400°F.

Cut the potatoes into slightly larger pieces than usual.

Drizzle the potatoes with vegetable oil and season liberally with kosher salt and black pepper.

Mix the potatoes to thoroughly coat them with the oil and seasoning.

In a saucepan, make a roux with a little vegetable oil, butter, and all-purpose flour, mixing until combined.

Cook the roux for about 2 minutes to eliminate the raw taste of the flour.

Add water and beef base to the roux, or use beef broth instead of both if preferred.

Mix well and bring the mixture to a boil until it thickens.

Add black pepper to taste, but do not add salt due to the salt in the beef base.

Place the seasoned potatoes on the grill and close the lid.

Grill the fries for 20 minutes, then flip them and grill for an additional 20 minutes until crispy.

Once the fries are done, while still hot, add fresh cheese curds on top.

Pour hot brown gravy over the fries and cheese curds as desired.
