1
Prepare the Fries
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
2
First Fry
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (160°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 3-4 minutes until soft but not browned. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3
Make the Gravy
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.
4
Second Fry
Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Fry the potatoes again in batches for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
5
Assemble the Poutine
Place a generous portion of fries on a plate, sprinkle with cheddar cheese curds, and drizzle hot beef gravy over the top. Garnish with sliced scallions.
