Classic Poutine
Crispy fries topped with cheese curds and rich beef gravy — Canada's greatest culinary gift. Soaking the cut fries in cold water before the first fry removes excess surface starch, letting them crisp properly on the second, hotter fry instead of turning soggy under the gravy.
Ingredients
Instructions
Soak cut fries in cold water 30 minutes. Dry thoroughly.
Fry at 150°C for 5 minutes for the first fry. Drain and cool.
Make gravy: melt butter, whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Gradually add stock and Worcestershire. Simmer until thick and glossy.
Fry chips again at 190°C for 3-4 minutes until deep golden. Drain and season with salt.
Pile into bowls, scatter over cheese curds and pour hot gravy over the top immediately.
