Twice-fried potatoes with cheese curds and a homemade beef-and-chicken gravy.
About Poutine
Poutine is a Quebec dish of fries, cheese curds and gravy. Ricardo’s version uses russet potatoes and a homemade brown sauce combining beef broth, chicken broth, butter and garlic.
The curds bring a mild dairy flavour, while the gravy adds savoury depth. Browned flour and butter enrich the sauce, with garlic and pepper supporting the meat-broth base.
Golden potato sticks form the base of each serving, with cheese curds and glossy gravy over them. The crisp fries contrast with the squeaky curds and the smooth, thick sauce.
