Peel and cut 3 potatoes into thin French fries.

Wash the cut fries to remove some starch.

Dry the fries using a cloth to remove as much moisture as possible.

Heat oil in a pot, filling it to one third of the pan, and start on high heat.

Once the oil is hot, reduce to medium-high and add the fries in batches, cooking for 7 minutes (this is blanching).

Remove the blanched fries and set aside.

In a separate pot, boil 1 cup of water on high heat and add 1 beef bouillon cube.

Add 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to the boiling water and stir.

Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1 cup of water until liquefied, then add to the gravy mixture, stirring until it thickens (about 4 minutes).

Heat the oil again and fry the blanched fries for an additional 3 minutes until golden and crispy.

Remove the fries and place them on a plate lined with paper to soak up excess oil.

Top the fries with cheese curds and pour the thick gravy over them.
