Fries

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin strips to create shoe-string fries.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the potato strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt immediately.

Gravy

  1. 3

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.

  2. 4

    Add Chicken Broth

    Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Season the Gravy

    Stir in the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Assemble

  1. 6

    Layer the Poutine

    On a plate, layer the hot, crispy fries, then pour over the chicken gravy. Finally, generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  2. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    If desired, place the assembled poutine under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly before serving.
