Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef stock
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds Idaho white potatoes, peeled and cut
1/2 pound fresh cheese curd

Directions

In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine the butter and flour. Stir until incorporated. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes for a dark roux. Stir in the stock. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and keep warm. Peel the potatoes and cut fries, 4 inches by 1/2-inch. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and blanch for 4 minutes. Remove, drain and cool completely. Fry the potatoes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, mound the fries into the individual (16-ounce) disposable cups. Spoon the gravy over the fries and crumble the cheese. Serve immediately.

Satisfaction!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After seeing poutine featured on several travel/cooking shows, I acquired a strong craving for it and decided to make it at... home (the only restaurant nearby that serves "poutine" does not make the authentic dish (although it is still delicious) and replaces curds with melted aged cheddar . Cheese curds are unavailable in my area, so I ordered them online. Happily, they arrived fresh and delivered the famous "squeak" when chewed! The method of blanching the potatoes prior to frying worked very well. The gravy took much longer than 20 minutes to thicken up, but I just kept simmering it until it had reduced and thickened enough. After reduction, the amount was just perfect to cover the amount of potatoes. This made a satisfying and tasty dinner on a cold Saturday night!Read more
