"This recipe has been posted from a request. I've had this several times and it is extremely good! Measurements are strictly up to you! Cook time is estimated for french fry cooking time. And # of servings is also up to you! Do you want to share or have it all for yourself? I suspect once you taste it, you won't want to share! If you are having trouble finding the cheese curds, I found this info online: To make your own: Wrap cottage cheese in cheesecloth and place in a colander or strainer nested inside a bowl. Place in the refrigerator until much of the liquid has drained into the bowl. Substitutes: jack OR Muenster"

Note to all - Poutine originates from Quebec, Canada. It's yummy and not at all good for the waist line. I use cheese curds but in a pinch mozerella can be substituted (only if absolutely necessary)! Italian poutine can be made by substituting spaghetti sauce for beef gravy.

Poutine is a classic french canadian dish. The proper way to prepare it is as follows. Deep fry french fries-preferably thick hand cut. Season with a bit of salt, then put half a porton of fries into a bowl or container add some fresh cheese curds-NOT MOZZARELLA OR OTHER CHEESE, then add the rest of fries and top with more cheese curds and finally pour piping hot beef gravy overtop as desired. Should not be garnished with any condiments other than a bit of salt and pepper. The cheese curds are key it makes it extra gooey and tasty.

I love this dish, it has been a staple in my entire life. I like to crumble chives and bacon on the top, with lots of pepper! uMMMM. I only allow myself to eat this once in a while, cause its soooooo bad, but sooooo good!

WOW! Great combo of ingredients. Been wanting to try this for a long time (since Redsie posted her photo). Found out the in our Tour of the British Isles--the Island of Manx has adopted this dish at many fast food shops. So, I made it for the Isle of Manx stop.
