Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups French Fries (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups Cheese Curds (preferably fresh)
  • 2 cups Gravy (homemade or store-bought)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • Chopped Green Onions (optional for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If you're using frozen fries, cook them according to the package instructions until crispy. For homemade fries, peel and cut potatoes into fry shapes, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes, dry thoroughly, and fry until golden brown.
Heat the Gravy
  1. While the fries are cooking, heat the gravy in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it is hot and bubbling.
Assemble the Dish
  1. Once the fries are crispy, place them on a serving plate or bowl. Generously pour the hot gravy over the fries.
  2. Scatter cheese curds over the gravy-laden fries. The heat from the fries and gravy will slightly melt the curds, making them gooey and delicious.
  3. Finish with salt, pepper, and a sprinkling of chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Easy Poutine!

Notes

Use good-quality fries for the best texture. Experiment with different types of gravy, and ensure the gravy is hot for the best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but don't freeze as fries may become soggy.
