  1. This recipe can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be. You can use frozen fries and bake them in the oven. You can home make your own gravy. It's up to you!
  2. To make fries from scratch, heat your oil in a heavy bottom pot on the stove until it reaches 375F consistently. While it is heating, cut your potatoes into fries. My mandolin has a "fry" attachment that makes them all small and uniform -- but of course a knife will do fine if you don't have that!
  3. Working in batches, carefully drop the fries into the hot oil. Cook until light brown, about 5 minutes. Have a paper towel lined pan ready and remove the fries to that to dry out a bit.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare your packet of brown gravy according to the instructions on the label. Mine uses 1 cup cold water mixed with the powder.
  5. Meanwhile Meanwhile...cut up your cheese into small cubes. Real poutine uses Cheese Curds, but my local grocery store doesn't carry those. Use either cheese that you have!
  6. Once everything is ready, place your hot fries on a plate, sprinkle with the cheese, and drizzle on the hot gravy. Eat immediately!
  7. Try using different cheeses or flavors of gravy. Possibilities are endless with poutine! I've had a Perogie Poutine with Thin Sliced Beef before! Get creative!
