This is Canadian cuisine at it's finest, pue and simple. My family has been making poutine for as long as I can remeber and this is the recipe that we use. After a recent drive through Quebec and seeing all of the casse croutes along the highway, I was CRAVING poutine. But not the soggy McDonald's stuff, the real, lick your chops, calorie loaded cheesecurds, melt in your mouth kind. Mmm...poutine...truly an art form.

This satisfied our cravings for some REAL poutine! We don't have a deep fryer so we found it took quite awhile to fry the potatoes, (about 35 minutes) I think we just really wanted to eat this delicious meal and had a hard time waiting. We recommend the real squeaky cheddar cheese curds, we've had mozza before and it's really not the same. Enjoy! This is a great recipe for a real taste of Canada!

I became addicted to this when I was in Montreal for 3 weeks. It is wonderful. We have a farm about a mile from us who make all sorts of cheese from milk from their own cows and sell it under the brand name of Farmhouse Cheese. They also make cheese curds, but you have to get there early because they sell out fast! Their herbed cheese curds are great with this dish. It is so yummy. I usually make it when I feel I am a quart low on cholesterol! Marilyn Warren

From a true Canadian, try fried Hamburger (fried up with your favorite spices) under the gravy and cheese! This makes a meal out of poutine! It's served in pubs all over New Brunswick! Enjoy!

The word "real" should be removed from this recipe. Few specific info are missing to have the "REAL" poutine. For example: It should be the Red potato from Manitoba. Is should be Conola oil. Is should be the cheese curds (salted cheddard) sold and made in Quebec. And the real poutine sauce also sold in Quebec. Few restaurants in other provinces do import the real stuff. But the further you go more rare it gets. This recipe is good but there is a difference between good, very good and excellent. It' all good until you have the "real one". Be ready for a choc when you do. If there is mozzarella in it , I, personnaly, wouldn't call it Poutine. Just a close resemblance of it. Mario (from Quebec living in Alberta).
