Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 375°F.

Peel and cut the baking potato into thick fries.

Soak the cut fries in cold water for about 15 minutes to remove starch.

In a saucepan, heat water and add Better Than Bouillon chicken broth to create a broth.

Add a small amount of beef gravy for color (optional).

Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste.

In a separate bowl, mix 2-3 tablespoons of flour with cold water until smooth.

Slowly add the flour mixture to the broth while whisking to thicken it into gravy.

Fry the soaked potato fries in the hot oil until golden and crispy.

Assemble fries on a plate, topping with cheddar cheese curds while fries are hot.

Pour hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds.
