I've had this several times and it is extremely good. Measurements are strictly up to you. Cook time is estimated for french fry cooking time. And # of servings is also up to you. Do you want to share or have it all for yourself? I suspect once you taste it, you won't want to share. If you are having trouble finding the cheese curds, I found this info online: To make your own: Wrap cottage cheese in cheesecloth and place in a colander or strainer nested inside a bowl. Place in the refrigerator until much of the liquid has drained into the bowl. Substitutes: jack OR Muenster.
