This popular Canadian Poutine is a delicious dish made with crispy fries, melted cheese curds, and beefy gravy. The end 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 so I can warm the cheese curds right before I ladle on the gravy. Poutine is a hearty side so it does not need a lot to accompany it to make it a full meal. I like to serve it with something light like Marinated Cucumbers and Red Onions or Vinegar Coleslaw.

How To Make canadian poutine

  • Step 1
    Wash and cut potatoes into 1/4 inch thick fries. Soak in cold water for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Dry very thoroughly. Toss with vegetable oil. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet with a little space between them. Bake for 20 minutes then flip and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile add the beef broth, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire Sauce to a small saucepan over medium low heat. Bring it to a low boil (just above a simmer) whisking frequently. In 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 3
    Reduce oven to 400 degrees. To assemble gather the fries in the middle of the baking sheet or spread in a casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese curds over the fries and pop in the oven 3-4 minutes. Spoon the hot gravy over the top. For best results serve promptly.
