Steps
Cut the potatoes into thick fries and fry them twice — first at a lower heat to cook through, then hotter to crisp.
For the gravy, cook a butter-and-flour roux until nut-brown, then whisk in the stock.
Simmer the gravy until it thickens enough to coat the fries and season it well.
Pile the hot, crisp fries into a bowl.
Scatter the cheese curds over the hot fries so they just begin to soften.
Ladle the piping-hot gravy over everything and serve at once.
💡 Tips
- The gravy must be hot enough to warm, not melt, the curds — they should stay squeaky.
- Double-fry the potatoes for real crunch.
- Assemble and eat immediately; poutine waits for no one.
