Ingredients

• 3 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Low-fat cheese curds
• 2 cups Low-sodium beef broth
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash, peel, and cut the russet potatoes into 1/4 inch thick fries.

Step 3

Place the fries in a large bowl and toss with olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 5

Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the fries are baking, prepare the gravy: in a medium saucepan, bring the beef broth to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry, making sure there are no lumps.

Step 8

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering broth, continually whisking to avoid lumps.

Step 9

Add Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the gravy. Stir well.

Step 10

Allow the gravy to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency, then remove from heat.

Step 11

Once the fries are finished baking, place them onto a serving platter or individual plates.

Step 12

Sprinkle the low-fat cheese curds evenly over the hot fries.

Step 13

Pour the hot gravy generously over the fries and cheese curds.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat version of classic Canadian poutine.
