Make fries by cutting 1/2 kilo of peeled potatoes lengthwise into 4 to 5 pieces and then into sticks.

Rinse the potatoes under cold water and soak in cold water for 30 minutes.

Pat the potatoes dry using a paper towel.

Heat oil for frying and fry the potatoes until golden and crispy.

For the gravy, melt 60g of unsalted butter in a saucepan.

Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for a minute.

Gradually add 3 1/2 cups of beef stock while whisking to avoid lumps.

Add 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp of dark soy sauce (if using) to taste.

For the second fry, fry the potatoes again until crispy and season with salt to taste.

Plate the fries, top with cheese curds or any available cheese, fried salami, and shredded cheese (if using).

Pour the gravy over the fries and cheese.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
