⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • For the Fries:
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt to taste
  • For the Gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Cheese Curds:
  • 2 cups cheese curds (preferably white cheddar)

Instructions

Prepare the Fries

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil and salt.

Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, turning once during cooking.

Prepare the Gravy

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux and turns a light golden color.

Gradually whisk in the beef or chicken broth and water, ensuring there are no lumps.

Stir in the soy sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assemble the Poutine

Place a layer of hot, crispy fries on a serving plate or dish.

Sprinkle the cheese curds evenly over the fries.

Pour the hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds, making sure the cheese curds begin to melt.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
