Main Ingredients
  • 4 large Russet potatoes

  • 3 cups low sodium beef stock
  • 1 cup unsalted chicken stock

Preparation Steps
  1. Wash the potatoes and peel them if desired. Cut into ½ inch planks. Cut into sticks again at ½ inch. Place in cold water until ready to fry.
  2. Add peanut oil to a deep fryer or large Dutch oven. Heat to 325°F.
  3. Dry the potatoes thoroughly. Fry in batches for 10 minutes until blanching. Drain and set aside.
  4. Prepare the gravy by melting butter in a saucepan. Whisk in flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in beef and chicken stocks. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
  6. Raise oil temperature to 375°F. Fry the blanched potatoes again until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and season with kosher salt.
  7. Assemble the poutine by placing fries on a plate, topping with hot gravy, then cheese curds. Serve immediately.
