3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon pepper, divided
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 3/4 stick
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups beef stock
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons water
1 ½ cups cheese curd

  • Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Arrange the fries evenly in 2 rows on each baking sheet so they are not touching.

  • Add the water to the cornstarch in a small bowl and mix until dissolved. Add the cornstarch slurry to the gravy and stir until thickened. Remove from the heat and cover to keep the gravy hot.
  • Transfer the baked fries to a large bowl, add the cheese curds, and pour the hot gravy over the top. Toss to coat.
  • Transfer to a dish and serve immediately.

REAL CANADIAN POUTINE



Real Canadian Poutine image

Poutine originated from rural Québec province in the 1950s. I would say poutine is not second to any other food in Canada. I order poutine when I go to diners, but I also buy fresh cheese curd to make my own at home. Homemade gravy is really easy and quick to make. The only rule I don't follow for authentic poutine is that I don't fry my French fries; I bake them in the oven. Be careful. This is very addictive!

POO-YIE FRIES (CAJUN POUTINE)



Poo-Yie Fries (Cajun Poutine) image

Poo-Yie is a common Cajun slang term used down here. It is usually used in a very expressive manner. For example, you settle down with an ice-cold beer and some boiled crawfish, and after you take your first bite you might hear yourself say, 'Poo-Yie, that's good!' The Poo-Yie Fry is our a twist on a poutine fry. Recipe courtesy Freetown Fries, Lafayette, LA

Categories     Potato

Time 5h15m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 (2- to 3-pound) rump roast
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
4 cups beef broth
1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 large unpeeled idaho potato, cut 3/8-inch thick with a French fry cutter
oil, for frying
3 teaspoons smoked mozzarella cheese, diced
1 teaspoon green onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Special equipment: a French fry cutter; a deep-fryer.
  • For the roast:.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Sprinkle the meat all over with salt, pepper and the cayenne. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven and brown the roast on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pan and add the garlic and onions. Place the roast on top, fat-side up. Add the beef broth and 4 cups water to the pan and cover. Place in the oven and roast until the beef is tender and registers an internal temperature of 130 to 135 degrees F, 3 to 4 hours.
  • Transfer the roast to a cutting board and pour the broth into a bowl to reserve for the gravy. Slice the meat across the grain, then shred it with two forks.
  • For the Poo-Yie gravy:.
  • Heat the butter in a large black cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven until fully melted and beginning to bubble. Add the flour and stir constantly until you get a nice, thick, dark brown color. Lower the heat and slowly add 7 cups of the reserved beef broth and whisk until smooth. Add the ketchup, pepper, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt and onion powder and whisk over low heat. Add the shredded roast to the gravy and remove it from the heat. (If the gravy thickens, add a little more broth to thin it.).
  • For the Poo-Yie fries:.
  • Meanwhile, soak the fries in cold water for 45 minutes. Drain in a colander to remove excess moisture.
  • Heat the oil to 300 degrees F in a deep-fryer. Place the fries in the fryer basket and fry, 4 1/2 minutes. Take out the fryer basket and let the fries cool to room temperature (shake the basket to prevent the fries from sticking together); bring the oil to 350 degrees F. Drop the basket of fries back in the fryer and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Drain well, shaking the basket.
  • Put the fries in a bowl, pour the gravy over them and top with mozzarella and onions. Serve immediately. Reserve the remaining gravy for more Poo-Yie Fries.
