My review
Real Canadian Poutine
Colleen
"Poutine originated from rural Québec province in the 1950s.
I would say poutine is not second to any other food in Canada.
I order poutine when I go to diners, but I also buy fresh cheese curd to make my own at home.
Homemade gravy is really easy and quick to make.
The only rule I don't follow for authentic poutine is that I don't fry my French fries;
I bake them in the oven.
Be careful. This is very addictive!"

Ready In
- Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Spread fries in a single layer over prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, about 15 minutes.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour vigorously. When mixture bubbles, reduce heat to low; cook and stir until the mixture thins, about 2 minutes. Whisk in beef broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy has thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place fries on a serving plate or in individual bowls. Distribute the cheese curds over the fries; pour hot gravy over the fries and curds. Serve immediately.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- You may use mozzarella cheese as substitute, but it is never the same. I hope you can find cheese curds in your local markets.

Loved it! I could not find cheese curds anywhere, so I did use the suggested mozzarella instead. The gravy came together very easily and tasted great. The family devoured these! I will be keepin...

This would be much better with real homemade fries... The sauce wasn't right either, nothing like a real Quebec poutine.

I couldn't get the consistency right for this, however, it was still delicious. We all thoroughly enjoyed it with the mozzarella cheese. Looked for cheese curds but have had no luck so far. Will...

Nice short cut to the gravy. But use Beef Stock to make a true version of the the Canadian Gravy. It is thicker and delicious.

Couldn't find cheese curds so we used bleu cheese crumbles in one batch & feta in another, with crisp bacon crumbles & shredded parmesan to top the gravy. We loved it!

Great recipe, even with the fry shortcut. I've tried it with baked fries, and it works well with you spray them with a bit of olive or coconut oil to get that tender crisp texture needed to make...
