Real Poutine
Description
Poutine is classic Canadian comfort food that's easy to make at home by topping crispy French fries with hot brown gravy and fresh cheese curds.
Ingredients
•
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
•
1 (10 1/4 ounce) can beef gravy
•
5 medium potatoes, cut into fries
•
2 cups cheese curds
Directions
1
Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
2
While the oil is heating, begin to warm gravy.
3
Place fries into the hot oil, and cook until light brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Cook fries in batches if necessary to allow them room to move a little in the oil. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
4
Place fries on a serving platter, and sprinkle cheese over them.
5
Ladle warmed gravy over the fries and cheese, and serve immediately.
