Toppings

Method

Preparing the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Remove the fries from the water and thoroughly dry them with a paper towel. Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt.

Making the Gravy

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 6

    Add Flour

    Once the butter is melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.

  3. 7

    Add Broth and Soy Sauce

    Gradually whisk in the beef broth and soy sauce, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 8

    Season the Gravy

    Season with black pepper and stir well. Set aside.

Assembling the Poutine

  1. 9

    Layer the Fries

    On a serving plate, place a generous portion of the crispy fries.

  2. 10

    Add Cheese Curds

    Sprinkle Ellsworth cheese curds over the fries.

  3. 11

    Pour Gravy

    Ladle hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds.

  4. 12

    Top with Bacon and Sour Cream

    Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top and add sour cream to taste. Serve hot.
