The poutine

Poutine is a quite versatile Quebec recipe. It can be served as an accompaniment (with hotdogs and burgers, for example) or as a main dish. It is also very popular after a hangover to settle the stomach back in place.
It's easy

For 2 people:
5 medium sized potatoes (for French fries)
1 packet of BBQ sauce or other gravy (or spicy or sweet)
cheese curds, hard to find in Europe, put some grated cheddar or mozzarella instead.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

Waiting: 0 min
Total Time: 25 min

For medium-sized fries preferably use two batches following the Belgian fashion. The first at 160-170 ° C and the second (2 minutes) at 180-190 ° C.
In the same time, prepare the sauce by following the cooking instructions on the package.
In a plate, pour the sauce over the fries. Depending on whether you prefer your cheese raw or melted a little (possible with real cheese curds), add the cheese sauce before or after.
