Ra-Ra-Ra Poutine
"Not much fuss to this recipe - it's a classic - and probably THE all-time comfort food, at least for Canadians. Worth trying - forget about the cholesterol. Live a little! (please note in the calorie count for this recipe, the oil used to fry the potatoes in has also been included - obviously, you are NOT consuming a quart of oil!)"
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 quart vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 (10 1/4 ounce) can rich beef gravy
- 5 medium potatoes, scrubbed, skin left on, cut into fries
- 2 cups fresh cheese curds (cheddar cheese curds are yummy, but fresh mozz works great, too)
- kosher salt
directions
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365°F (185°C). While the oil is heating, you can begin to warm your gravy.
- Place the fries into the hot oil, and cook until light brown, about 8-10 minutes. Make the fries in batches if necessary to allow them room to move a little in the oil. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Place the fries on a serving platter or into individual bowls. Sprinkle lightly with some kosher salt. Sprinkle the cheese over them. Ladle gravy over the fries and cheese, and serve immediately.

I just had to rate this, I've been eating this forever and it's a beloved dish! haha, great post. -
As a resident of Canada for umpteem years I can attest that these rate up there with the best. I love them best with potato wedges rather than with skinny fries so that's how I made mine and they came out heavenly. -
It is to Montanans across the border too. But since I'm going north above Edmonton, I will be eating plenty of Poutine soon! Don't get on the scales after eating.A winner in every way!Once you try it, it will be on your menu of "to have" foods.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
