I'm from Québec where poutine was invented, so if you don't like it here, you're like an alien... I've finally found my kind of poutine, MY way - try this: FRIES, OKA CHEESE AND PEPPER SAUCE (canned from St-Hubert is the best for this if you can find it) This way I love it!!!

Trust me when I say this, if you substitute any kind of cheese in place of the cheese curds, you will not get the same result. Poutine is only poutine when it is loaded with cheese curds. If you made this with a substitute, try it again with curds and you will be amazed at the difference.

This is the classic recipe, but it can be improved by omitting the canned gravy and using leftover gravy from roast beef. Mmmmmm.

This is GREAT poutine and pretty much the real thing, having spent lots of time in Quebec. We are in Utah now and have to make what we sarcastically refer to as Deluxe American Poutine, but it is a little healthier and good cheese curds are really hard to find here. We toss our cut up potatos in a little olive oil and bake. I saute sweet onions, muchrooms, sliced deli roast beef and put that on along with the cheese curds if we can find them, or fresh mozz pearls if not. In Montreal you can get poutine with Montreal smoked meat that is amazing, so we tried to replicate that, kind of....considering we can't get Montreal smoked meat...

I am a French Canadian of Gaspe descent. This is a good recipe in a pinch, however, traditional Quebecois poutine is served with a thin, homemade chicken gravy, and the cheese curds should be white. Also, there is a Deluxe version of Poutine which is now popular in Eastern Quebec. A Galvode Poutine includes cooked boneless chicken pieces and green peas to the gravy - a true "down home" style Poutine which is a meal in a bowl. Delicieux! et Bon Appetit!

I love poutine. I would rather have it at a restaurant but this is a great recipe if you can't find someone else to make them.

This is a great way to use up some leftover gravy. I cut each potato into 8 wedges and tossed them with some olive oil, no salt seasoning, and salt on a baking sheet. I baked the seasoned potato wedges at 400 degrees, stirring every 10 minutes or so until they were nice a crispy instead of frying them. I used some shredded sharp cheddar cheese instead of cheese curds and used vegetarian gravy instead of meat gravy. This was a very comforting dish. Thanks for the great recipe!

Fried the potatoes in canola oil as cubes (seasoned with salt, pepper and seasoned salt x]) and used brown gravy and mozzarella cheese. Absolutely amazing. My brother inhaled it before I could even go for a second helping!
