fries with gravy


Poutine. (I had to look it up to remember the name) I have seen this on the Food Netowrk before.

The mom n pops place here in town will put brown gravy with onion on your fries if you ask. When I get the hamburger steak from there I get fries covered in gravy. It is probably similar to what you are talking about.

Cheese curds and gravy are poutine. Aka disco fries

Best way to do fries is to hand cut. Blanch at 285, let sit and then flash at 375-400

Anything not frozen. I like dipping them in a mayo ketchup mixture.

If they have to be frozen I prefer crinkle or home style. I love waffle fries but from Chic Fil-A only.

And the previous poster who mentioned J Alexander's...those are legit!

If you look up poutine on Wikipedia, that pic does it absolutely no justice at all.

I had to dig this up on my phone from a few weeks ago...



The fries are under there somewhere.

Pic from the only place I've had gravy on my fries and it is awesome. Place called Murphy's in Bartlesville, OK....home of ConocoPhillips. It's an old diner that's just a dive.

The picture is actually of their "Hot hamburger". The burger is sitting open face under the fries and gravy.

Curly or shoe string. Waffle fries a close second.

The fries with gravy they serve in Canadian dives are pretty damned good. An acquired addiction.


Throw a little cheese curd on there and we got a party

Posted by Degas The best usually involve duck fat.

Overrated and wish this fad would die. Got them one time and tastes no different than most other slightly seasoned fries I've had. Sure as hell not worth the extra 5-8$ they charge for fries.

Way back in 1972 wife and I had just gotten married at age 17 and that's what we survived on. Homemade fries and the old style plain Doritos and bean dip with a coca-cola to wash it down. My culinary skills are way better these days.

I like homemade best, followed closely by the upper level, cheap crinkle cut in the sack. Crispy and salty on the outside, medium mushy on the inside.

As a French-Canadian living in NOLA, I've always wanted to open a poutine joint down here. I, too, think it would be a major hit. However, the cheese curds make or break the poutine so I probably need to learn how to make good curds first
