Cheesy Baked Fries with Gravy - Slow-Roasted Potatoes

Method

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries, soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
3. Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes, until golden and crispy, turning once halfway through.
4. In a saucepan, melt butter, add flour, and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened.
5. Add broth and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Pour sauce over baked fries, top with cheese curds, and serve immediately.
