1

Prepare the Perfect French Fries

Start by cutting your potatoes into thick, even sticks. Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Pat them dry, then fry them in batches until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

2

Create the Creamy Cheese Curds

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until the mixture thickens. Add your choice of gourmet cheese, like Gruyère or Brie, and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

3

Bring on the Gravy Goodness

In another saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a roux. Gradually add beef or chicken broth, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you desire.

4

Assemble your Gourmet Poutine

Place a generous portion of your homemade fries on a plate. Sprinkle with fresh herbs like chives or parsley. Top with a generous amount of the creamy cheese curds. Pour the rich gravy over the top, ensuring every fry gets a taste. Garnish with more herbs and an optional drizzle of truffle oil.
