Classic Poutine

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, russet or Yukon Gold
• 1 1/2 cups cheese curds
• 1 1/2 cups beef gravy
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized matchsticks.
2. Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 325°F (165°C).
4. Fry the potatoes in batches until they are golden and crispy, about 5-6 minutes per batch.
5. Remove the fries from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Season with salt.
6. In a separate saucepan, heat the beef gravy until hot.
7. To assemble the poutine, place a layer of fries on a serving plate, top with cheese curds, and pour hot gravy over the top.
8. Repeat the layering process for additional servings.
9. Serve the poutine immediately while hot and enjoy!
