How to make Poutine:

Cook Fries: I love my homemade French Fries recipe (includes instructions for frying, baking or air-frying french fries) but frozen store-bought fries will work great. Make the gravy while the fries are cooking. Make Gravy: Place butter in a pan over medium heat until melted. Add flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes. Add onion powder and bouillon then stir. Slowly pour in broth while whisking until smooth and thickened. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Assemble: When the fries are hot and cooked, place cheese curds on top. White cheese curds are the authentic option, but orange work, or if you have a hard time finding cheese curd you could tear soft mozzarella into chunks. Ladle warm gravy on top. Grab a fork and enjoy!

Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:

To Make Ahead: You can make the gravy up to 3 days ahead of time, stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Rewarm on the stove or in the microwave. To Freeze: The components of this dish can be frozen separately. Keep the fries in a freezer safe bag, the curds in a separate freezer bag, and the gravy can be frozen in container, bag, or even in an ice cube tray, for up to 3 months.
