canadian poutine
This popular Quebec Canadian Poutine is delicious with extra-crispy fries, melted cheese curds, and beefy gravy. The result is pure magic, and one everyone should try. I like to make it on a big baking sheet or in a big ovenproof bowl to warm the cheese curds right before I ladle on the gravy.

How To Make canadian poutine
-
Step 1Wash and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch thick fries. Soak in a large bowl full of cold water for about 45 minutes. Dry very thoroughly and dry with paper towels.
-
Step 2Heat 1½-2 inches of vegetable oil in a Dutch Oven, heavy pot, or deep fryer to 325 degrees. Cook the fries for 5-7 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain. Work in batches, so you don't crowd the fryer.
-
Step 3Heat the oil to 360 degrees F. Fry the potatoes again until they are golden brown and extra crispy. Remove to paper towels to drain and work in batches.
-
Step 4Meanwhile, add the beef broth, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire Sauce to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a low boil (just above a simmer), whisking frequently.
-
Step 5In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch. Whisk it into the broth mixture. Bring back to a low boil and cook until thickened. Salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 6To assemble, sprinkle the cheese curds over the fries and pop them in a 450-degree oven for 3-4 minutes.
-
Step 7Spoon the hot gravy over the top. For best results, serve promptly.
