Start by researching authentic Canadian poutine recipes.

Prepare a slurry by mixing cornstarch with some water in a large saucepan.

Melt butter in the saucepan, then add unbleached flour and cook for about 5 minutes until it turns golden brown, creating a blonde roux.

Add beef broth and chicken broth to the roux and bring to a boil while stirring with a whisk.

Simmer the mixture for one minute to thicken the gravy, then season with pepper and Worcestershire sauce to taste.

Peel and cut the potatoes into large fries, ensuring they are flat on the ends.

Boil the fries in salted water for about 8 minutes until slightly tender.

Transfer the boiled fries to an air fryer, preheat it, and season with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Cook the fries in the air fryer until golden brown and crispy.

In a large bowl, add the hot fries and season lightly with salt.

Ladle hot gravy over the fries and toss to coat them in the gravy.

Add cheese curds to the bowl and toss again with the hot fries and gravy.

Serve immediately with fresh ground pepper.
