Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Carefully add the French fries in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook the fries for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the fries from the oil with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
2
In a medium saucepan, heat the beef gravy over medium heat until it is warmed through. Stir in the cheese curds until they are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
To assemble the poutine, place a portion of the French fries on a plate or in a bowl. Spoon the cheese curd sauce over the top of the fries, followed by a spoonful of the beef gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve immediately.
