Ingredients

  • 1 batch homemade French fries (click for recipe)
  • 1 batch homemade brown beef gravy (click for recipe) or use a gravy packet
  • 8 oz cheese curds at room temperature

Instructions

  • Make the fries, follow my homemade French fry recipe, or use frozen fries and fry them according to package instructions.
  • Make the gravy, use my recipe for homemade brown gravy, or use a packet and follow the package instructions. Vegetable or chicken gravy can also be used.

To assemble the poutine:

  • Divide the fries among serving bowls (or serve in a large platter).
  • Top with cheese curds. The heat of the fries should melt the cheese.
  • Pour the gravy over the fries and serve!

Notes

Serving. This recipe serves 6 if served as a side dish, or makes 3-4 servings if served as a main.
  • If your fries aren’t hot enough when you start assembling the poutine, you can use the oven to heat things up. Place the fries on a sheet tray, then add the curds and bake in a 350°F/180°C oven until the cheese melts.

  • Substitute the cheese curds with mozzarella cheese if you have to.
