1
Prepare the Fries
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips. Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2
Fry the Potatoes
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
3
Prepare the Gravy
While the fries are frying, heat the beef or chicken gravy in a saucepan over medium heat until hot. Stir occasionally.
4
Assemble the Poutine
Place a generous portion of fries on a serving plate. Sprinkle cheese curds evenly over the fries. Pour hot gravy over the cheese curds and fries, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious homemade poutine!
