Cut the potatoes into fries.

Deep fry the fries in vegetable oil until crispy and golden brown.

In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Gradually add the beef or chicken stock to the roux, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Worcestershire sauce (if using) and season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.

Place the hot fries on a serving plate.

Sprinkle cheese curds generously over the fries.

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