Easy Poutine
This shop has been compensated by Inmar Intelligence and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #mccainquickcook . One of my favorite dishes in the whole world is Poutine! Poutine is a Canadian specialty dish made from French Fries mixed with fresh cheese curds and warm brown gravy. I used McCain® Quick Cook Straight Cut Fries to make this Easy Poutine in a fraction of the time and it was a hit with my whole family.
Poutine usually requires making your own french fries first, which means peeling potatoes, cutting them up, and then frying. I just had a baby, so I don’t have a full day to spend cooking, anymore. Luckily, McCain makes it easy and convenient for me to make the delicious meals I want without spending a lot of time in the kitchen. McCain now makes a Quick Cook variety of fries that cook in half the time.*

McCain Quick Cook Fries come in three varieties, crinkle cut, waffle, and straight cut. They are faster to prepare and easier to share! I tossed my fries with fresh cheese curds and then poured on some warm brown gravy once they were done cooking. It was amazing to eat on a cold winter day!
These fries cook quickly and no flipping required, which saves me the time of having to watch them. McCain Fries are made with 100% real potatoes and have no artificial flavors. I love keeping a couple of bags of these in the freezer to create a fast side dish or main dish like I did with this Poutine.
Sometimes I don’t have time to meal plan days in advance, and having these fries on hand makes it easy to whip something together fast that we enjoy!
What is Poutine?
Poutine is a French-Canadian dish traditionally made of French fries and fresh cheese curds, then covered with gravy.
I was able to easily find these McCain Quick Cook Fries in the freezer section of ShopRite by me! This is great, because who has time to shop around these days? I need my grocery store experience to be “in and out”.
Is there meat in poutine?
Poutine is usually made with a beef gravy, so it is not a vegetarian dish. However, I have tried many poutines made with a mushroom gravy and they are also super delicious.
I absolutely loved how fast I was able to get this delicious snack on the table for my family to enjoy! That is a reason to celebrate all on its own! Take a few minutes to make these delicious fries for a hot-from-the-oven dish the whole family will eat just as fast!
