Instructions
Place the salt and 1-2 cups water in a large mixing bowl. Place the potato slices into the water and make sure it is enough to cover the tops.
Prepare the gravy if you are making from scratch. Bottled does not need to be warmed ahead of time.
Heat the oil in a large, high rimmed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Use a deep fry thermometer to heat oil to 325°F. Heat oven to 200°F.
Drain potatoes and blot well with a paper towel.
Working in 3-4 batches, slowly lower potato medallions into hot oil using a fry spoon. Be prepared for a little bit of spitting from water remnants on the potato slices. Fry for 5-6 minutes or until browned and tender. Remove to a paper towel lined baking sheet or a wire rack over a baking sheet. Store in the oven to stay warm. Continue with remaining potato medallions. The trick is to remove them when they are still soft inside, like a French fry, and before they get to the point of being a potato chip.
Remove warming potatoes from the oven and preheat broiler on high. Transfer medallions to an oven safe, rimmed serving dish. Top with gravy and cheese curds. Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes or until cheese curds are slightly melted.
