Instructions

To Make the French Fries
Preheat oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and cut potatoes into 1/4" fries. Soak fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
  • 2 large Baking Potatoes
    scrubbed
In a large bowl, toss fries with olive oil and seasoned salt. Spread on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Bake for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F, stir the french fries, and continue baking until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
To Make the Gravy
While the fries bake, heat one teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook diced onion until tender.
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 0.5 Onion
    diced
Add minced garlic, thyme, and pepper to the saucepan. Cook the mixture for 2 minutes. Whisk in the butter until melted. Stir in flour, cooking the roux for 4 to 5 minutes or until browned.
  • 2 clove Garlic
    minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 0.25 cup Unsalted Butter

Gradually add the condensed beef broth and 1 cup of water to the saucepan, whisking until smooth after each addition.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 2 minutes. Strain the gravy through a mesh strainer into a pot.
