If you’re looking to have a genuine Canadian experience, you’ll have to experience the magic of poutine. The good news is you don’t have to go to a restaurant, or even live in Canada, to enjoy this tasty treat! Here’s a recipe for poutine so good that you’ll never again be able to eat french fries plain.

You’ll need:
5 potatoes cut into french fries
1 jar of beef gravy
2 cups of cheese curds (substitute cottage cheese if curds aren’t available in your area)
1 quart of cooking oil

Heat the oil in your deep fat fryer – or in a medium sized sauce pan if you don’t own a fryer – to about 370 degrees. Place the potatoes in the the oil and fry until they’re a light brown – about five minutes or so. While all that is going on, you can be heating up your gravy. Remove the potatoes and let them drain on a wire rack with paper towels underneath. Put them on a plate, top with the curds and gravy and serve immediately.

Tip: Let your curds or cottage cheese come to room temperature before adding them so they don’t make your fries cold.
