Classic Poutine
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, cut into fries
- 2 cups cheese curds
- 2 cups beef or chicken gravy
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While the fries are baking, heat the gravy in a saucepan over medium heat until hot.
- Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and divide them among serving plates or a large serving platter.
- Sprinkle the cheese curds over the hot fries, then pour the hot gravy over the top, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the classic poutine!
Poutine, a beloved Canadian dish, originated in Quebec in the late 1950s. It's a comforting combination of crispy fries, cheese curds, and rich gravy. Some say it was invented by Fernand Lachance, while others credit restaurateur Jean-Paul Roy. The dish quickly gained popularity and spread across Canada, becoming a staple in diners, pubs, and fine dining establishments. Today, poutine can be found in various forms, from classic renditions to gourmet versions with added toppings like pulled pork or foie gras. For the best poutine experience, head to Quebec, where chefs take pride in perfecting the balance of crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds, and savory gravy.
