Prepare the gravy by dissolving cornstarch in water and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat.

Add 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour to the melted butter and cook, stirring regularly, for about 5 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown.

Add the beef broth and 10 ounces of chicken broth to the flour mixture and bring to a boil, stirring with a whisk.

Add half of the cornstarch mixture to the gravy and simmer for a minute. If you want thicker gravy, add more cornstarch mixture in small increments as needed.

Season the gravy with pepper and additional salt if necessary to taste.

Prepare the fries by cutting 2 pounds of russet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick sticks and place them in a large bowl covered with cold water for at least one hour.

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large heavy pot to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the potatoes from the water and blot them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Add the fries to the 300 degrees Fahrenheit oil and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until they start to cook but are not yet browned.

Remove the potatoes from the oil and place them on a wire rack. Increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once the oil is heated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, add the fries back to the oil and cook until they are golden brown.

Remove the fries to a paper towel-lined bowl and season lightly with salt while still warm.

In a large clean bowl, add the fried fries and ladle hot gravy over them, tossing to coat the fries in the gravy.

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

Serve immediately with freshly ground pepper.
