Poutine Potatoes


  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and minced garlic, and stir for about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens.

  2. Season the Sauce: Add the black pepper, salt to taste, and ketchup. Stir until the sauce has a smooth, unified color. Once the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat and set it aside.

  3. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into long strips, as you would for French fries. Deep-fry the potato strips in hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, drain the fries from the oil and set them aside.

  4. Assemble the Poutine: In a baking dish (like a Pyrex dish), arrange the fried potatoes evenly. Sprinkle the cheese cubes over the top of the fries. Pour the thickened sauce over the cheese and fries, ensuring everything is well-covered.

  5. Bake to Melt the Cheese: Preheat the oven and place the dish under the broiler (top heat) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and blends with the sauce.

  6. Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the dish from the oven. Serve the Poutine Potatoes hot, scooping the cheesy, saucy potatoes into a clean serving plate.

Poutine Potatoes are best enjoyed hot and make a perfect appetizer to complement your table. We hope you enjoy this flavorful dish. Bon appétit!
