🍁🥔Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
- 1 cup cheese curds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
🧀🍟Directions:
- Prepare the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potato fries with vegetable oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Gravy: While the fries are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 2 minutes until it forms a roux (a smooth, light brown paste).
- Add the Broth: Gradually add the beef broth to the roux, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Assemble the Poutine: Once the fries are crispy, remove them from the oven and place them on a serving platter. Immediately sprinkle the cheese curds over the hot fries so they begin to melt slightly.
- Add the Gravy: Pour the warm gravy over the fries and cheese curds, ensuring everything is well coated. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the poutine hot and enjoy this classic Canadian dish!
