In a saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the melted butter and mix rapidly until it starts to foam and smell fragrant.

Pour in the 3 cups of chicken broth into the mixture and stir.

Let the gravy simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.

Add oil to a pan for frying the potatoes.

Add a second batch of fries on top of the cheese curds to help them melt.

Pour the poutine gravy over the fries and cheese curds.
