Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm. Peel the potatoes and cut fries, 4 inches by 1/2-inch. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and blanch for 4 minutes. Remove, drain and cool completely. Fry the potatoes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

GRAVY CHEESE FRIES

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into 1/4 by 1/4-inch matchstick pieces and soak in cold water, overnight. Dry thoroughly before frying. In a deep-sided skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 350 degrees F. There should be enough oil to cover potatoes completely. Fry potatoes in oil for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove fries from oil using strainer or tongs and let fries drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the fries on a cookie sheet and top them with the cheese. Place in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted to your liking. Remove from oven, top with gravy and serve.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter and add flour to make a roux. While whisking often, cook the roux on medium-low heat until it is medium-deep brown in color. Whisk in beef broth slowly until it is all incorporated. Continue to cook, whisking often until gravy has thickened. Add black pepper. If you need to thin the gravy, whisk in additional beef stock or water.

SOUTHERN DISCO FRIES

Steps:

• For the fries: Prepare the French fries according to the package instructions.
• For the country ham gravy: Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and ham. Cook, stirring frequently until the ham is crispy and the butter just starts to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the ham to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add the flour to the pan and whisk to form a smooth paste. Continue to whisk while pouring in the stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the mustard, lemon juice and black pepper. Set aside in a warm area, until ready to serve.
• For the white cheese sauce: Pour the milk into a small saucepot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add the Cheddar, mozzarella and cornstarch and whisk until the cheese melts and a thick sauce is formed, about 3 minutes. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
• Spread the fries onto a large serving platter. Generously pour the gravy and cheese sauce over the fries. Sprinkle with the crispy country ham bits and green onion. Serve with lots of napkins.

REAL POUTINE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). While the oil is heating, you can begin to warm your gravy.
• Place the fries into the hot oil, and cook until light brown, about 5 minutes. Make the fries in batches if necessary to allow them room to move a little in the oil. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Place the fries on a serving platter, and sprinkle the cheese over them. Ladle gravy over the fries and cheese, and serve immediately.

POUTINE (FRENCH FRIES WITH GRAVY AND CHEESE)

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks and submerge in a bowl of ice and cold water. Rinse potatoes in several changes of cold water until water is clear. Drain in a colander, then spread potatoes in 1 layer on several layers of paper towels and pat very dry.
• Heat about 8 cups vegetable oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
• Cook shallot with thyme in butter in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until shallot is softened and golden, about 2 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes, then discard thyme sprigs. While wine reduces, stir together water and cornstarch until cornstarch is dissolved. Stir 1 cup beef or veal demi-glace into wine and bring to a boil. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and return to a boil, then boil until sauce is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in black pepper, salt, and unsalted butter until butter is melted.
• Once oil is ready, increase heat to moderate and fry potatoes in 4 batches, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, 5 to 6 minutes per batch, returning oil to 375°F between batches. Transfer fries with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet lined with several layers of dry paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Keep fries warm in oven while frying remaining batches.
• Put 4 ovenproof plates in oven, divide fries among plates, and sprinkle with cheese. Heat until cheese is just warmed through, about 2 minutes.
• Stir chives into sauce and drizzle over fries. Serve immediately.
