Cut the fries into half-inch sticks and soak them in cold water for at least 20-25 minutes.

Boil the fries in water for about 5 minutes or until they're tender but not mushy.

Drain the fries, pat them dry, and toss them gently with olive oil.

Bake the fries at 450 to 475°F on parchment paper until crispy, flipping halfway through.

For the gravy, heat a pot on medium heat and add in some butter and flour to create a roux.

Add beef broth to the roux and double the volume to enhance the flavor, then add a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce.

Let the broth simmer until it reduces by half.

Prepare a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch with water, then add it to the gravy and simmer until thick.

Adjust the seasoning of the gravy with salt and pepper.

Assemble the poutine by layering fries, cheese curds, and hot gravy in a ring mold, repeating until desired portion size is achieved.

Remove the ring mold to reveal the assembled poutine.
