Canada's glorious mess: hot crispy fries smothered in rich beef gravy and squeaky cheese curds that half-melt into gooey pockets. Poutine is Quebec's gift to comfort food — the contrast of crisp fry, molten curd and savory gravy is the entire, perfect point. Eat it fast, before the fries soften too much.

Ingredients

  • Dash Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Can Beef Gravy
  • 5 thin cut Potatoes
  • 2 cups Cheese Curds

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365°F (185°C).
  2. Warm gravy in saucepan or microwave.

  4. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  5. Place the fries on a serving platter, and sprinkle the cheese over them.
