1

Prepare the Perfect Fries

Start by peeling and cutting your potatoes into thick fries. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Then, pat them dry with a kitchen towel, ensuring they're completely dry. Preheat your oil to 375°F (190°C) in a deep pot or fryer. Fry the potatoes in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

2

Make a Rich and Flavorful Gravy

In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth. Slowly pour in 4 cups of beef or chicken broth while constantly whisking. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Melty Cheese Curds Magic

Now, it's time for the cheese curds! Grab a generous handful and disperse them evenly over the hot fries. The heat of the fries will help the cheese curds melt into a gooey delight. To take your Poutine to the next level, you can even sprinkle some shredded mozzarella or grated cheddar on top for extra cheesy goodness.

4

Pour on the Gravy Goodness

Drizzle your freshly made gravy over the cheese curds and fries. Make it rain, but don't overdo it! You want the Poutine to be gloriously smothered, but not swimming in gravy. The ratio of fries to gravy is crucial for that perfect balance of flavors. Let the gravy seep into the fries for a minute or two, ensuring every bite is packed with savory goodness.

Dig In and Enjoy!

Now comes the best part - indulging in your homemade Poutine! Grab a fork or a spoon and devour the golden fries, cheesy curds, and savory gravy all in one glorious bite. Your crowd will be coming back for seconds, so make sure to have plenty of napkins on hand. Bon appétit!
