1batchhomemade brown beef gravy(click for recipe) or use a gravy packet
8ozcheese curdsat 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.
