Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then cut them into 1/4-inch thick sticks.
In a large bowl, toss the potato sticks with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and onion powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth, then slowly whisk into the simmering broth mixture.
Continue to stir the gravy until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with the dairy-free gravy drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
