Caution: This poutine recipe is not for the faint of heart! Remember to handle spicy ingredients with care and taste as you go to adjust the heat level to your preference.

1

Prep the Fries

Start by cutting your potatoes into fries. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness for that crispy bite. Once cut, rinse the fries in cold water to remove excess starch.

2

Spice Up the Gravy

In a saucepan, heat up your favorite gravy base. Add a generous amount of hot sauce, like sriracha or Tabasco, to give it that spicy kick. Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes.

3

Fry the Fries

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the fries into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Cheese It Up

While the fries are still hot, sprinkle a generous amount of cheese curds or shredded cheese over them. The heat will melt the cheese and create that iconic poutine gooeyness.

5

Lay on the Heat

Pour the spicy gravy all over the cheese-covered fries. Make sure the gravy seeps into every nook and cranny for maximum flavor. Feel free to add more hot sauce if you dare!
