• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 4 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into 1/4 inch thick fries.

Step 2

Soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth roux with a slightly golden color.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the beef and chicken broths until smooth.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 15 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally.

Step 7

Season the gravy with salt and pepper, then cover and keep warm on low heat.

Step 8

Drain and pat dry the soaked potatoes with paper towels.

Step 9

In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 320°F (160°C) over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Fry the potatoes in batches for 4-5 minutes until they're just soft and slightly colored, then remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 11

Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Refry the potatoes in batches for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 13

Drain the fries on fresh paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Step 14

To assemble the poutine, place hot fries on a serving plate, top with cheese curds, and generously ladle the warm gravy over the top.

Step 15

Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free classic Canadian poutine.
