Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil and salt.
Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, turning once during cooking.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux and turns a light golden color.
Gradually whisk in the beef or chicken broth and water, ensuring there are no lumps.
Stir in the soy sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Place a layer of hot, crispy fries on a serving plate or dish.
Sprinkle the cheese curds evenly over the fries.
Pour the hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds, making sure the cheese curds begin to melt.
Enjoy your meal!
