INSTRUCTIONS
- Remove cheese curds from the refrigerator approximately 1-2 hours before making the poutine, which will allow them to melt slightly when the hot gravy is ladled over

- Place hot fries on a plate and top with cheese curds
- Ladle hot gravy over and serve immediately
* Homemade fries can, and often are used to make traditional poutine, and can be baked, fried or air fried. Starchy potatoes like russets are recommended so the fries are crisp on the outside and fluffy inside.
**Homemade or leftover gravy can be used. If going for homemade, look for a traditional poutine gravy, which includes a starch as a thickener, chicken broth (or combination of chicken and beef broth), a tomato product usually ketchup, and an acid often in the form of an added vinegar.
