Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fries

    Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thick fries. Rinse the fries in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    First Fry

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 325°F (160°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 4-5 minutes until they are soft but not colored. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Second Fry

    Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Poutine

    In a serving dish, layer the crispy fries, then top with Widmer's cheese curds. Pour hot beef gravy over the top, allowing it to melt the cheese curds slightly.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Chop the scallions and sprinkle them over the top of the poutine for added flavor and color.
