Instructions
-
Cook French fries according to package directions (bake or fry) until golden and crispy. Set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour to form a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.

Slowly whisk in beef and chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Add Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.

-
Immediately pour hot gravy over the fries and curds to melt the cheese slightly.

Serve hot. Add optional toppings like fried cheese balls or chicken bites for extra indulgence.
Notes

For vegetarian poutine, use veggie broth and vegetarian-friendly Worcestershire sauce.

For crispier fries, double-fry or air-fry.

Best served immediately for the ultimate gooey cheese pull.
