Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

  2. Spread fries in a single layer over prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, about 15 minutes.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Recipe Note

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!
