canadian poutine

This popular Canadian Poutine is a delicious dish made with crispy fries, melted cheese curds, and beefy gravy. The end result is pure magic and one everyone should try. I like to make it on a big baking sheet or in a big ovenproof bowl so I can warm the cheese curds right before I ladle on the gravy. Poutine is a hearty side so it does not need a lot to accompany it to make it a full meal. I like to serve it with something light like Marinated Cucumbers and Red Onions or Vinegar Coleslaw.

How To Make canadian poutine

  • 1
    Wash and cut potatoes into 1/4 inch thick fries. Soak in cold water for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Dry very thoroughly. Toss with vegetable oil. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet with a little space between them. Bake for 20 minutes then flip and bake for another 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile add the beef broth, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire Sauce to a small saucepan over medium low heat. Bring it to a low boil (just above a simmer) whisking frequently. In a small bowl whisk together the water and cornstarch. Whisk it into the broth mixture. Bring back to a low boil and cook until thickened. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 3
    Reduce oven to 400 degrees. To assemble gather the fries in the middle of the baking sheet or spread in a casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese curds over the fries and pop in the oven 3-4 minutes. Spoon the hot gravy over the top. For best results serve promptly.
