Sunny Poutine Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Whisk the egg whites, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes; toss to coat. Let the excess egg drip off, then spread out on the baking sheets. Mist with cooking spray and bake, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add half of the scallions; cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then gradually whisk in the remaining 2 1/2 cups broth and the Worcestershire sauce. Simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the chicken and peas and warm through, about 3 minutes. (Add up to 1 cup water if the gravy is too thick.)
• Scatter the mozzarella evenly over the chicken mixture. Layer the fries and chicken mixture in bowls; top with the remaining scallions.

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes lengthwise, about 1/4 inch thick. Stack the slices and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks (or cut the potatoes into fries using a french fry cutter). Place in a large bowl filled with cold water and let sit at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for extra-crispy fries. Drain well and pat dry or spin dry in a salad spinner.
• Make the gravy: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and beef stock, ketchup, vinegar, peppercorns and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the flour and make a roux, stirring until slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the stock mixture into the roux and simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Line a baking sheet with a double layer of paper towels. Heat 2 to 3 inches vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F (or use a deep fryer). Fry the potatoes in small batches until whitish yellow, about 8 minutes. Remove with a strainer and drain on the paper towels. Bring the oil temperature to 375 degrees F over high heat. Fry the potatoes in batches again until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on fresh paper towels. Salt and pepper the fries while hot. Strain the gravy.
• Put the fries in shallow dishes; top with the cheese curds and gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange frozen French fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes; keep warm.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble when cool enough to handle.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat; spray with cooking spray. Crack eggs into skillet; season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium low, cover skillet loosely, and cook until egg whites are firm and yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
• Divide French fries onto 4 plates; sprinkle evenly with crumbled bacon. Drizzle each serving with hollandaise sauce, sprinkle with chives, and top with an egg.
