Authentic Canadian Poutine Recipe: A Delicious Classic

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes (cut into fries)
  • 1 cup cheese curds (preferably fresh)
  • 2 cups beef gravy (hot)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into fries. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

    Soaking helps achieve crispier fries.
  2. Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

    Use a thermometer for accurate temperature.
  3. Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add the soaked fries to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

    Do not overcrowd the fryer.
  4. Drain and Season

    Remove fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if desired.

    Season immediately for better flavor absorption.
  5. Assemble the Poutine

    Place the hot fries on a serving plate, sprinkle cheese curds over the top, and pour hot beef gravy generously on top.

    Serve immediately while hot for the best experience.
