Fries

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Fries

  1. 1

    Cut the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry and Fry

    Drain the potatoes, pat them dry with paper towels, and heat the 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 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

Make the Beef Gravy

  1. 4

    Melt Butter

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

  2. 5

    Add Flour

    Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 2 minutes until lightly browned.

  3. 6

    Add Broth

    Gradually add the beef broth while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken for about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 7

    Season

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and remove from heat.

Assemble the Poutine

  1. 8

    Layer Ingredients

    On a serving plate, place a generous portion of hot fries. Pour the hot beef gravy over the fries, ensuring they are well covered.

  2. 9

    Add Cheese Curds

    Sprinkle cheese curds over the hot gravy, allowing them to begin to melt.

  3. 10

    Garnish

    Finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives on top for added flavor and color.
