Poutine Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in water and oil until combined. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Gently form into a ball. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough in half. On parchment, roll each half into a 10-in. circle. Transfer (leaving dough on parchment) to a 12-in. pizza pan. , Preheat oven to 425°. Combine sauce ingredients; spread over pizzas. Top with pepperoni, green pepper, onion and cheese. If desired, sprinkle with additional dried basil and oregano. Bake on a low oven rack, one at a time, until bottom of crust is golden and cheese is lightly browned, 15-20 minutes. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• Place the potato strips in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes.
• After the potatoes have soaked for around ten minutes, preheat oven to 400°F.
• Thoroughly dry potatoes and place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray (Pam).
• Drizzle with about two tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast the potato strips for 30 minutes, tossing after 15 minutes, until golden brown.
• Transfer the fries to a plate.
• Wipe the browned bits from the pan and unroll the pizza dough onto the cookie sheet.
• Slide dough into the hot oven to partially bake for about 8 minutes.
• Lightly brush the crust with oil, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and deli beef.
• Bake another 6 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is browning and bubbly.
• Arrange the fries evenly on the pizza and drizzle with the hot gravy.
• Garnish with parsley, slice and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes lengthwise, about 1/4 inch thick. Stack the slices and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks (or cut the potatoes into fries using a french fry cutter). Place in a large bowl filled with cold water and let sit at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for extra-crispy fries. Drain well and pat dry or spin dry in a salad spinner.
• Make the gravy: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and beef stock, ketchup, vinegar, peppercorns and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and make a roux, stirring until slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the stock mixture into the roux and simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Heat 2 to 3 inches vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F (or use a deep fryer). Fry the potatoes in small batches until whitish yellow, about 8 minutes. Remove with a strainer and drain on the paper towels. Bring the oil temperature to 375 degrees F over high heat. Fry the potatoes in batches again until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on fresh paper towels. Salt and pepper the fries while hot. Strain the gravy.
• Put the fries in shallow dishes; top with the cheese curds and gravy.
