The Canadian Classic – Poutine
While we enjoy a large variety of cuisines thanks to Canada's multi-culturalism, there isn't a more recognizably Canadian dish than the poutine. A true poutine contains cheese curds, not shredded cheese y'all. Crispy, golden crinkles, squeaky curds, packaged vegetarian brown gravy, and some green onions to finish. Such a treat!

- Preheat your oven according to the bagged fry directions. Get your fries on to a parchment lined baking sheet. Once preheated, bake according to package directions until crispy and golden. Season liberally with salt out of the oven.
- With 5 minutes to spare, prepare your gravy according to package directions. I always add a tiny bit more water than what is recommended. Once the gravy has boiled and thickened, turn down the heat and simmer for a couple minutes, whisking as needed.
- ASSEMBLY - Divide your crispy fries between two plates and arrange cheese curds around the plates. Drizzle each plate with the hot gravy and top each poutine with some green onions. ENJOY!
Notes
- For a true Canadian Poutine, it HAS to be cheese curds. Shredded cheese is not a "poutine", rather fries with cheese and gravy. Similar, but not the same.
- I always suggest brown gravy because it reads as the most traditional. Make sure to read your ingredients and look for meat based products to ensure you're using a vegetarian gravy. To be safe, you could always use a poutine gravy which is typically veggie friendly.
- When it comes to the fries, I LOVE crinkles because they're so crisp outside and so fluffy inside. Alternately, you could swap in whichever fries you'd like. Avoid shoestring if you're baking them because they almost always dry out.
