2 cups Beef or Chicken Stock Forms the flavorful base; opt for vegetable stock for a vegetarian version.

For the Toppings

2 cups Cheese Curds The gooey centerpiece; substitute with shredded mozzarella or cheddar if needed.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by washing and peeling the medium potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized fries for uniform cooking. Soak the cut fries in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the soaked fries in batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain them on paper towels.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux, and gradually add stock while whisking until thickened (5-7 minutes).
Layer the hot, crispy fries in a large serving dish. Sprinkle cheese curds over fries and pour the gravy on top.
Prepare eggs according to your preference. Place them atop the poutine, allowing the warm yolks to enhance the dish.
Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs or hot sauce.
