Homemade Poutine
Ingredients
- 28 oz. frozen French fries, OR
- a batch of homemade fries
- 6 oz. cheese curds can sub 6 oz. whole milk, low moisture mozzarella cheese, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- 1 packet gravy mix
- Vegetable oil optional, use if frying
- Fresh thyme to garnish (optional)
- See here on how to make homemade French fries.
- For frozen fries: If baking, bake the fries according to package instructions.
- For frying, heat the oil to 300 degrees in a deep fryer or dutch oven. You don’t want the fries to boil rapidly, but to lightly bubble just to cook them through.
- TIP: Using a candy/deep frying thermometer makes it easy to tell when the oil is ready.
- Add the fries to the oil in batches, you don’t want to overcrowd them. Fry for about 5 minutes, then place them on a paper towel lined plate.
- Repeat until all fries have been fried once.
- Increase heat to 400 degrees and fry in batches a second time, until they are a light golden brown.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line the fries on a baking sheet and sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is just melted but not browned. You want them to retain their shape and color.
- Prepare the gravy according to package instructions and drizzle it over the baking sheet of fries and cheese.
- Use a spatula to remove and serve! Garnish with fresh thyme if desired!
