American Tries Poutine for First Time
Unleash your inner Canuck with this easy, home-cooked take on classic poutine, featuring crispy russet fries, savory beef gravy, and squeaky cheese curds.
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes washed & cut into frites
- 2 cups beef gravy or brown gravy
- ½ cup cheese curds "squeaky"
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Peel if desired. Chop the potatoes into fries.
- Heat a large pot of oil or a deep fryer to 375°F. Carefully place the fries into the hot oil and cook for 10–15 minutes, or until they are browned and crispy.
- Remove the fries from the hot oil and transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel to remove excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
- While the fries are cooking, warm the beef gravy in a microwave or in a pot on the stove. Heat until it starts to bubble.
- Crumble any large cheese curds. Evenly distribute the cheese curds among the layers of fries. Pour the hot gravy over the top of the fries and curds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy, eh!
