Perfect Poutine With Bacon Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cut potatoes into lengths of about ¼" x ¼" x 4". Place in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours for extra-crispy fries. Drain well and pat dry between two kitchen towels.
• 2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook bacon until fat is rendered and bacon starts getting brown. Add shallots and sauté for 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add butter and stir until melted. Add flour and stir constantly; cook for 21/2 to 3 minutes. Pour cold broth and then add ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic salt and black pepper. Whisk ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the gravy thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Keep it warm until ready to serve.
• 3. Pour oil in a deep-fryer and heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350ºF. Working in small batches, add potatoes and fry for 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes on a baking sheet lined with paper towel. Increase temperature to 375ºF and, working in small batches, fry potatoes for 9 minutes or until crispy. Transfer chips on a baking sheet without paper towel and pat with paper towel.
• 4. Transfer some fries on a warm plate, sprinkle with cheese curds and pour some gravy; repeat again with fries, cheese and gravy. You can strain gravy or not before pouring.

Steps:

• Drizzle oil into a pan over high heat. Add beef chuck. Cook and stir until juices evaporate and the beef starts to brown and stick to the bottom of the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Add butter and reduce heat to medium; stir until butter is melted.
• Add onions, salt, pepper, and cayenne to the beef. Cook until onions are softened and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in flour. Cook and stir until flour smells like cooked pie crust, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in broth and bring to a simmer over high heat. Bring heat back down to medium. Let simmer, uncovered, until gravy reaches your desired thickness, 15 to 20 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally. Season with salt.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lay fries out on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway, until crispy and golden brown, 13 to 18 minutes.
• Fill a serving platter with fries. Scatter cheese curds on top. Ladle a portion of the beef gravy on top and garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425ºF.
• Bake potatoes as directed on package, topping with gravy, cheese and bacon for the last 5 min.
• Top with remaining ingredients.
