Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 cup Vegan cheese curds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Scrub and rinse the russet potatoes well, leaving the skin on for extra crispness and flavor. Cut them into thick fries, approximately 1/2 inch wide.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper ensuring they are evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the fries are baking, prepare the vegan gravy. In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while continuing to whisk the mixture to prevent lumps.

Step 8

Add soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast. Whisk well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the gravy thickens, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter or individual plates.

Step 11

Sprinkle the vegan cheese curds over the hot fries. Pour the warm vegan gravy over the fries and cheese curds.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
