  • If you have store-bought fries, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If you wish to make your own fries at home, proceed to the next step.

Homemade fries

  • Wash the potatoes and, if desired, peel them. Then cut them into 10x10mm pieces for a uniform fry.
    1400g Russet potato (or Bintje in Europe)
  • In a large bowl, pour very hot tap water and then submerge the fries for 10 minutes. After the waiting time, drain the water and gently pat the fries dry.
  • Preheat canola oil to 140°C (285°F) in a large pot or deep fryer. Once the oil reaches temperature, cook half the fries for 8 minutes, stirring gently every 2 to 3 minutes for even cooking. If the fries begin to brown before 8 minutes, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels.
    1.5 liters canola oil
  • Preheat canola oil to 190°C (375°F). Cook half the fries for 2 to 3 minutes, or until crisp. Remove from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Season with regular or spicy sea buckthorn salt to taste.
    1 pinch of spiced sea buckthorn salt, 1 pinch sea buckthorn salt
  • In a bowl, layer fries and cheese curds twice, then finish with poutine sauce on top.

  • As a bonus, don't be shy, I added a few bacon bits from Ferme Les Petites Écores
