I like poutine a lot, but most of the time when I go outside Canada I see it done incorrectly. The cheese is critical. It absolutely has to be curd cheese, and it has to be either white cheddar or mozzarella; if the cheese you are using is orange, you have failed miserably.

Unfortunately I really don't know of any good recipes for gravy that I would personally use (having gone vegetarian fairly recently), but that's the other essential component. The default is a beef and onion gravy, but use any gravy recipe that you think tastes good, just don't make it too salty or you'll ruin the whole thing.

Obviously, fresh cut and deep-fried fries are preferable to frozen bagged fries, but you can get away with using those if you absolutely must. Just make sure they're good and crisp.

Assembling poutine is pretty easy, you just take hot fries dump on a good handful of your curd cheese and top with hot gravy. If everything is the right temperature, the cheese should begin to melt and get stringy. Eat with a fork and a good beer as a side.

i live in ontario and there's a local restaurant that has the option of putting shredded cheddar on poutine, it sounds so weird!

Well, that's just kind of going into the alternative toppings idea.

There are also plenty of poutine toppings like smoked beef or chicken or whatever, but those are just extras, imo.

Oh, thank you so much for answering my questions. I wasn't sure what kind of curds to use and since there's so many kinds, I was at a loss. I will have to look around for gravy recipes, but the fries I can do.

Something like these brands would be what you're looking for:








I just want to be clear you do not use cottage cheese or ricotta or other "curd cheeses". It should be something that's specifically large to medium cheese curds. I'm sure amazon will have something.

The mushroom gravy in the Shepherd's Pie recipe from Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant is awesome on poutine.
