Fries

Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut and Soak Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into fries and soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the fries from water, pat dry, and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Gravy Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Roux

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is golden brown.

  2. 4

    Add Broth

    Gradually whisk in the beef or chicken broth to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5-10 minutes until thickened.

  3. 5

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Poutine

    On a plate, place a generous serving of fries. Top with hot gravy and sprinkle St. Albert's cheese curds over the top. Serve immediately.
