This recipe serves six people.
Ingredients for Poutine Potatoes:
- 1 kilogram of potatoes
- 1 cup of mozzarella or cheddar cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
- ¼ cup of softened butter
- ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of beef broth
- ¼ cup of ketchup
- ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
- Salt to taste
How to Prepare Poutine Potatoes:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
