Poutine Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Wash and cut the potatoes into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the soaked fries and pat them dry. Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  3. 3

    Make the Gravy

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 minutes until golden. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Poutine

    Place a generous portion of fries on a plate, ladle the chicken gravy over the fries, and top with cheese curds. Serve immediately.
