Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • 9 x 13 baking sheet

Ingredients

  • Poutine Gravy:
  • 6 Tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup Unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 30 oz Beef broth
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1/2 Sweet onion minced
  • Ingredients
  • Frozen French Fries
  • Cheese Curds
  • Beef 80% to 20%
  • 3 cups Whole milk warmed to just under simmer
  • 3 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Badia seasoning
  • 4 teaspoons Red Wine
  • Lawrey's seasoned salt or just salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Start cooking the frozen French fries in the Air Fryer according to their package. (This will take the longest time so you want to get this started first).
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the chopped onions and garlic till softened. Reduce heat.
  • Then add in the flour and stir for about 3 to 4 minutes until the smell of flour is gone.
  • Then slowly whisk in the warmed milk.
  • Add the rest of the seasonings along with the wine. and slowly stir in the beef stock and make sure to mix with a whisk. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
  • In a different frying pan, add the beef and some Lawrey's seasoned salt.
  • Cook until the meat is no longer pink. Then drain the grease from the burger.
  • Spread the cooked French fries on the bottom of the baking sheet, sprinkle the ground beef on top, then the cheese curds, then last ladle the gravy on top.
  • Place the pan in the oven to cook just to melt the cheese a little bit, the goal is to keep the shape of the cheese curds but not 100% melted cheese. This will only take maybe 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • This can be made with whatever you have leftover. You can make this with chicken or turkey (and matching broth) instead of beef; add mushrooms or onions, whatever --  switch it out!
  • This is especially delicious when you use our Basic Brown Stock to start the gravy!
