LOL my kids always get their fries changed to poutine at the restaraunts. When I make them at home I will actualy throw the finished product in the microwave to melt the cheese. Or you can use shredded mozzeralla, just don’t spread it thin. Think pizza with holes in the cheese lol.

Try it with cheddar too, mmmmmmmm. They actually sell poutine gravy in the grocery stores here. Sometimes we have fries with just the cheddar cheese melted on them in the microwave. Sprinkle with salt and away you go!

Christy–

I just recently found your website –already made three things, which were delicious–and have spent the last 2 hours on here reading all your recipes. I’m from Georgia, right near Atlanta, and I’m really enjoying the trip down memory lane for a lot of these! (The ones my mom cooked that I haven’t made yet.) But I just found the one for Poutine and had to write!

My ex-fiance (with whom I’m still good friends) is from Quebec and I went back home with him a few times–you sound just like me when you first discovered it! I wanted it at every meal. I gained 5 lb. worth of poutine with every visit. The good thing is–he brought me some poutine mix and I’ve made them at home using mozzarella…I searched everywhere for cheese curds and we just do not have them down here. Found places on the internet but it was SO expensive, with shipping and all.

But just yesterday–it’s so odd I saw this today–I saw cheese curds at my local Kroger! They were “colored” orange but still looked exactly the same as the ones we had in Quebec. If you have a Kroger near you–this is one of those super-duper ones with the really nice deli section–try and see if they have them.

If you want poutine mix, next time he goes home I’ll have him bring some for you and I’ll mail it–

I just looked at this recipe and I’m so excited to try this. We have a dairy just down the road and I’m going to pick some cheese curds up tomarrow and try this for dinner. I get my milk there weekly and it is so much better than what you get in the stores…

So wish I could get curds here! I’d also like to be able to get raw milk here as well but thats a boat I haven’t rocked yet ~grins~

I didn’t get to try a beaver tail! I guess I gotta go back!

I’m Canadian (born and raised) and I now live with my husband & daughters in Madison Alabama, Poutine was one of my FAVORITE dishes growing up. My friends and I would leave our elementary school at lunch time (this was when kids were allowed to do such a thing) and walk almost a mile to a little mom & pop diner called MG’s. They had the absolute BEST poutine in the whole world! Unfortunalty, on our visits up there in recent years we’ve found out they’ve closed down Thanks for the recipe, sounds like it will bring back fond memories!

Hey Christy,
I stumbled across Southern Plate looking for ideas for my new restaurant and I love it. I make most of the things you write about. Everything is yummy! I am from Louisiana, southern Louisiana and we have a deli/ gas station that serves what we call gravy cheese fries. They use thick cut fries and the gravy from the roast beef used to make roast beef poboys. Then it is just topped with your choice of cheese. My favorite is american. They are very good. I just thought I’d share this with everyone.

Kennie.

As the Canadian that introduced the evils of poutine to Christy i have to say that she ate more than i thought humanely possible..i got worried she might explode in a huge column of fries and cheese curds.. The best part was seeing her reaction to snow Had me smiling for months afterwards.
