Poutine Recipe

  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 (10.25 ounce) can beef gravy
  • 5 medium potatoes, cut into fries
  • 2 cups cheese curds

DIRECTIONS:

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). While the oil is heating, you can begin to warm your gravy.
  • Place the fries into the hot oil, and cook until light brown, about 5 minutes. Make the fries in batches if necessary to allow them room to move a little in the oil. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • Place the fries on a serving platter, and sprinkle the cheese over them. Ladle gravy over the fries and cheese, and serve immediately.

Wendy, I couldn't get enough of this great snack when we last visited Canada. I know it's not healthy, but it is so good.

Hi Wendy,
I just came back from a 2 weeks trips along east Canada. Great Experience!!!
I'm so happy that I found your blog, so that I can learn a bit more about your beautiful country. I love the Poutine, but how do I get the cheese curd? Can I eventually substitute it with something else?
Thanx a lot and have a good day!
