    I must agree with NZsailor, this may not be the 'original' poutine, however, I was born and raised in Quebec and many restaurants serve it with mozzarella cheese and it is a great artery-clogging way to eat it!! LOL When you prepare this recipe make sure your fries are hot and crisp before adding the cheese and gravy in that order. Enjoy!

    I am from Quebec and though it is true that real poutine is with cheese curd - I still love my homemade poutine with low-fat mozzarella (to save a few calories!!!) when I make it at home - I did use Poutine sauce (which is sold in supermarkets in Quebec). Thanks Xena!

    Proper French-Canadian poutine uses cheese curds not cheese. The poutine vendors put the fries in a dish first, then the curds and then pour on the hot gravy. This melts the curds.

    My kids love gravy on their french fries. The directions didn't say anything about using already cooked French fries or uncooked. I assumed by the cooking time they were already cooked. I have to say I never thought I would of thought to put cheese with gravy but what a combination. Thanks for posting.
