Toppings

Method

Preparation of Fries

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and cut the Kennebec potatoes into fries. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

  2. 2

    Frying the Fries

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Preparation of Gravy

  1. 3

    Making the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 4

    Adding the Broth

    Gradually whisk in the beef or chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes.

  3. 5

    Seasoning the Gravy

    Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Adjust to taste and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Combining Ingredients

    On a plate, layer the hot fries, followed by a generous amount of cheese curds, and finally pour the hot gravy over the top.

  2. 7

    Serving

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your classic Quebec poutine!
