Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
Canada's iconic plate of crisp fries piled with squeaky cheese curds and smothered in hot beef gravy. Indulgent, messy and satisfying.
Poutine is Canada at its most cheerfully indulgent: crisp golden fries, squeaky cheese curds and a good ladle of hot savoury gravy poured over the lot. It is messy, rich and very hard to stop eating. It also comes together in minutes, which makes it a brilliant treat for a night in.

Preparation
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365°F (185°C).
- Warm the gravy in a saucepan or microwave.
- Lower the fries into the hot oil and cook until light brown, about 5 minutes.
- Lift them out onto a plate lined with paper towel to drain.
- Pile the fries onto a serving platter and scatter the cheese over them.
- Ladle the gravy over the fries and cheese, and serve at once.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Track down proper cheese curds if you can. Their squeak is half the appeal.
- Get the fries really crisp, because they need to hold their own under all that gravy.
- Ladle the hot gravy over just before serving, so it only begins to melt the curds.
- Eat it straight away, while everything is hot and the fries still have crunch.
Frequently Asked Questions
They are fresh young cheese, mild in flavour with a distinctive squeaky bite. They are the genuine choice for poutine.
Use small chunks of a mild white cheese such as mozzarella. It won't squeak, but it melts beautifully.
Of course. Twice-fried homemade chips are excellent here, as long as they end up crisp enough to stand up to the gravy.
