Poutine is definitely considered one of Canada’s national dishes. While not considered a ‘healthy’ food, it certainly is a yummy one and one that my husband (who is an immigrant) was baffled by when he moved here.
I took him to poutine restaurants, ordered poutine from fast food outlets but still he thought the idea of cheese, gravy and french fries was strange. Then, when I put white vinegar on my I think he seriously considered breaking up.
Now, a few years later, he’s a convert. So, if you’ve never tried poutine before – you should. It’s fabulous!
Here is my easy version of homemade poutine:

These look so good. They remind me of the gravy fries that we use to have where I use to work. I will have to make these at home, now that they are on my mind again.

I’m not so sure about gravy on my fries, but I’d give it a try.

mmmmnnnnn…. Poutine, you just can not go wrong. Thanks for sharing and making my mouth water.
My granddaughter Emily introduced me to poutine. Now when we have our girls night out we sometimes grab poutine.
Went to Canada this summer and my granddaughter insisted we try poutine. it didn’t look like anything I would like. Now I am addicted to it love it love it love it
When do you add vinegar? At the end or before the cheese & gravy?
I add it once it’s all done as a flavour enhancer – but poutine is great without it too!
Poutine is absolutely fantastic and I’ve gone to restaurants where they have had chunks of beef or pulled pork. Yum
