Ingredients
  

  • 2 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into fries
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup cheese curds
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Hollandaise Sauce:
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • Salt to taste
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper optional

Method
 

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F.
  2. Carefully add the cut potatoes in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice for the hollandaise sauce.
  4. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk continuously until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter while whisking until fully combined. Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper, if desired. Keep warm.
  6. In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer and add the white vinegar.
  7. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  8. To assemble, place a generous portion of fries on a plate, top with cheese curds, and then add a poached egg on top. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and serve immediately.
