Canadian Poutine with Mushroom Gravy

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry french fries in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season lightly with salt.
  2. While the fries are cooking, prepare the mushroom gravy.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and softened. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth until smooth. Add soy sauce, thyme, and garlic powder. Simmer until the gravy thickens, stirring occasionally.
  6. Place the fries in a bowl or plate, top with cheese curds, and pour the mushroom gravy generously over the cheese curds.
  7. Garnish with additional fresh thyme, if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of hot fries and melted cheese.
