  1. Best Ever Poutine

    1 lb. new potatoes
    1 lb. sweet potatoes
    1 lb. cheese curds
    1/4 cup butter
    1 1/4 cups onion, finely chopped
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    2 cups beef stock, heated
    1 tbsp brandy (optional)
    1 tbsp instant coffee (optional)
    1 tbsp heavy cream

    Directions:

    1. Thinly slice potatoes.

    2. In large pan cook onions in butter on a medium low heat for 12-15
    minutes until the onions are lightly browned. Do not rush, the onions
    need to be well cooked.

    3. Sprinkle flour into pan, stir well, add salt and pepper, cook 2-3
    minutes. Add the warm stock and brandy, cook uncovered 4-5 minutes
    until thickened. Strain gravy through a metal sieve, return to heat.
    add heavy cream and instant coffee (coffee added for color).

    4. Fry potatoes in deep fryer. Remove potatoes from oil and sprinkle
    with course salt. Pour hot gravy over potatoes slices and sprinkle with
    cheese curds.

    Being Canadian I have no idea where in the US cheese curds linger. But
    I'd suggest looking in a store...possibly a place where they sell
    cheese. Or a specialty store that sells mainly cheese products.

    You can find cheese curds anywhere there are smallish cheese factories
    (i.e., not Kraft). They're usually mild cheddar, sometimes flavored.
    In upstate NY, you can find cheese curds made by Heluva Good. I don't
    know if the Colosse cheese factory is still there or not, but I remember
    my parents got cheese curds from them when I was little. Here in
    Seattle, Beecher's Cheese Factory in Pike Place Market sells cheese
    curds.

    We can get them in the grocery stores here (SD), but we have a fairly strong
    Canadian influence here. Still, would be worth a check before you go
    hunting down specialty cheese shops.

    Could you substitute drained cottage cheese
    instead of the curds?

    As gross as I find poutine, the idea of cottage cheese instead of cheddar
    curds just made it worse. I'm from the 'put my ketchup on the side I want
    my fries crisp' school of eating; someone to whom drowning fries in gravy is
    an abomination.

    I don't know what universe you live in, but take my word for it, this
    is not poutine. Poutine is fries, cheese and gravy, period.

    Why, pray tell? It's no worse than potatoes au gratin with cheese, or
    most anything with a sauce.

    Potatoes au gratin aren't supposed to be crisp. Fries, OTOH, are. Just
    watching my son eat poutine makes me gag.

  12. That's a mighty fancy version of poutine. Very different from what I am
    used to. I would try it if somebody made it.

    They're plentiful in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I'm not sure about other
    areas. Here's the first link I got when I Googled:
    http://thecheesemart.com/

    This is the store we used to go to on the way to visit relatives:
    http://www.burnettdairy.com/

    I like curds. They squeak when you bite them. They're available locally
    with dill, and with some other flavor variations.

    Or chili cheese fries - yummy! It's about the only fries I will eat
    next to fries with malt vinegar and salt and very rarely poutine. I'm
    not a real fries eater though. I might have them about 4 or 5 times a
    year.

    Aren't potatoes au gratin more like the texture of scalloped potatoes?

    It's the other way around. He was named after a dish in Québec. Good

    If that's true, his parents must have had a memorable meal and ended

    The cowgirl creamery in the SF Bay Area has them when they're at the weekend
    produce market in SF. I bought a 1/2 pint of them once and they're pretty
    tasty. They are rather chewy and well... very cheesy. Kind of like coarse
    Bocconcini. or, bocconcini grits. Well, I tried...
