Ingredients

  • 1 L vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 1 can (290 g) of poutine sauce (French: mélange à sauce poutine) or gravy
  • 5 medium potatoes
  • 2 cups fresh cheddar cheese curds or mozzarella

Instructions

  1. 1
    Slice potatoes into finger-width fries and rinse them well to remove any dirt.
  2. 2
    Begin warming gravy, keep the temperature low enough for a slow heating.
  3. 3
    Heat oil to 185°C (365°F).
  4. 4
    Cook sliced potatoes in the oil for about 5 minutes.
  5. 5
    Following a first frying to cook the potatoes, they are often removed and then fried again for about 1 minute to crisp the outside.
  6. 6
    Remove the fries from the oil; optionally place them on a paper towel mat to absorb excess oil.
  7. 7
    Move the fries to a serving dish and put room-temperature cheese curds over the fries.
  8. 8
    Pour the gravy over the top; the dish should be served before the cheese curds start to melt.
