Canadian comfort food at its finest! This simple and traditional Canadian Poutine recipe comes together quickly, with french fries, brown gravy, and cheese curds.
I was recently talking to my friend Haley that lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada about Poutine. I asked her if she had an authentic poutine recipe because we really wanted to try it, and she shared this simple recipe for Canadian Poutine with me.
With only three ingredients, this easy comfort dish will have you coming back for more. However, if you do prefer to make this savory dish from scratch, my Homemade Double Fried French Fries are an excellent alternative to frozen fries and this Homemade Brown Gravy Recipe is one of my favorites!

INGREDIENTS FOR POUTINE FRIES
Three ingredients are all you need!
- Frozen French Fries: Using frozen ensures that the fries cook evenly, and they are quick, too! Or make your own double-fried french fries for an epic addition!
- Cheese Curds: For the most authentic poutine, use white cheese curds rather than yellow.
- Brown Gravy Mix: Using a pre-made mix is great for convenience! Check the ingredients first if looking to make this dish vegetarian.

Oooooo…. I just love poutine! 🙂 Definitely going to try this recipe at home.
I absolutely love poutine, and this is the best recipe I’ve tried! Thanks so much for sharing it!
Loved it! I am making a second batch!
This is one of my favorite things to eat at the fair. So glad I found this recipe – tastes so much better when made fresh!
Poutine tastes so much better made at home. I’ve had it at the Fair before, and it was weird and oily. This, on the other hand, is tasty and very snackable!
I’m Canadian, and I can confirm this is a delicious poutine recipe. Definitely worth it to make the homemade fries – they make all the difference!
Wow, I didn’t know it’s this easy to make poutine at home. Will be making this again and again.
Poutine is my FAVORITE way to enjoy frites! I got to try some in Montreal once and it was legit one of the best things I’ve ever had! Excited to try these at home!
