Prepare French fries by cutting potatoes into strips and soaking in cold water for 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

Remove fries and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt immediately.

In a saucepan, heat gravy over medium heat until simmering.

Layer hot fries on a plate or in a bowl.

Sprinkle cheese curds generously over the fries.

Pour hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

Add optional toppings if desired, such as pulled pork or sautéed mushrooms.

Serve immediately for best texture.
