Bought some Wisconsin Cheese Curds to make this dish Wow Curds taste so good -D Quebec may forever be known as the place where poutine began. An unabashedly savory collage of french-fried potatoes, beef gravy, and squeaky-fresh cheese curds, its perhaps the ultimate late-night snack. This recipes comes to us from Toronto, Ontario native and kitchen assistant Anne-Marie White. Poutine (French Fries with Gravy and Cheese Curds) ingredients 4 lb. russet potatoes, skin-on, washed and dried 4 tbsp. unsalted butter ¼ cup flour 1 shallot, minced 1 clove garlic, minced 4 cups beef stock 2 tbsp. ketchup 1 tbsp. cider vinegar 1 tbsp. whole green peppercorns ½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Canola oil, for frying 2 cups cheddar cheese curds INSTRUCTIONS 1. Cut potatoes into lengths of about ¼ x ¼ x 4. Place in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and refrigerate for about 2 hours. 2. Meanwhile, heat butter in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour, and cook, stirring, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add shallot and garlic, and cook, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add stock, ketchup, vinegar, peppercorns, Worcestershire, and salt and pepper, and bring to a boil; cook, stirring, until thickened, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, and keep gravy warm. 3. Pour oil to a depth of 3 in a 6-qt. Dutch oven, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325°. Drain potatoes, and dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Transfer fries to paper towels to drain briefly, and then divide among serving bowls. Pour gravy over each serving of fries, and top with cheese curds; serve immediately.
