Potatoes and cheese with gravy.

Poutine is a dish typical of Quebec, consisting of French fries topped with fresh cheese curds, and covered with a brown BBQ gravy. This "chic" version is healthier, since the potatoes are sautéed rather then fried.

february 03, 2009 | I would make this recipe again

I couldn't find any demi-glace at the store and didn't feel like making it from scratch, so I used a can of 'Poutine Sauce' that I found at the store and it was fine. Also used mozza instead. I like this mostly because it never would have occurred to me to make poutine at home if I hadn't come across this recipe while looking to replace a different side dish.
