2 TBL butter
2 TBL all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into fries (Idaho are best)
1/2 lb fresh cheese curd, crumbled
Peanut oil for deep-frying

Blanche your french fries first. it gives them a crunchy outside,nice brown color,soft and tender inside

Combine the butter and flour in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to blend. Cook, stirring, constantly, to make a dark brown roux.

Stir in the stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to medium-low and continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat and keep warm.

2nd Fry the potatoes in hot oil until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

To serve, mound the fries Spoon the gravy over the fries and sprinkle with the cheese. Serve immediately.

Of course you can do just about anything with poutine, add steak and gravy with mushrooms & onions are one of my favourites.

Give it an Italian flare and use spaghetti sauce and mozza cheese

Cheddar cheese and bacon add another twist....

I have heard tale of this late night treat but it involved smoking copious amounts of weed! Never had it myself though.

I learned about this when I was up in Michigan. PeppA is addicted to this stuff!

I'm from Oklahoma. I would prefer either a cream gravy, or a good chili topped with cheese.
