Now, let's dig into the first step we will master...

Perfecting the crispy potatoes!

The authentic way to make poutine is to use russet potatoes, cut them in French fry strips and deep fry them to a golden crisp. This way is great, but if you are looking to stay lean year-round then you might want to skip on the deep-frying method.

The NEW Method...

My newest method for making potatoes in this recipe is super simple. I’ll be using baby yellow potatoes instead of russet. The reason why is because I LOVE how they get crispy to absolute perfection, and they’re the best bite size.

The Secret: Boil first then roast to perfection!

I love getting the potatoes nice and soft by boiling them with a little salt for 10-12 minutes. Once they’re ready, the trick is to smash them down using a fork, getting a nice texture on top.

This method will give the potatoes a nice crispy texture once they’re done roasting in the oven.

Preparing your steak PERFECTLY!

The trick to perfecting your steak is as simple as removing it from your fridge and letting it sit to reach room temperature first.

Typically, this takes anywhere from 25-35 minutes. Once it’s ready, I suggesting patting your steak down with a paper towel to remove any moisture. You’ll need to season your steak well with salt and pepper to your liking!

For this recipe, I cut the steak into bite sized pieces after seasoning it well, then pan frying it with 1 tsp of olive oil.

Simply add your ready steak on top of the crispy potatoes, then top it off with the cheese, then drizzle the warm gravy over your masterpiece.

Variations of this recipe:

Want to spruce your poutine up even more? Try some of these:

– Add some bacon

What if you need fewer calories for this feast?

Frankly, the sky is the limit here with this recipe! If you’re lean bulking, you can use any higher calorie ingredient you want… I you’re on lower calories, you’ll need to modify some stuff, but don’t worry, you won’t even notice the difference 😉

Making it Macro Friendly:

To cut back on the calories and make this fit your macros perfectly no matter what plan you’re on, I suggest the following:

– Low fat mozzarella cheese instead of high fat cheese curds

– Lean protein like flank steak or chicken breast

– Look for store-bought low-fat gravy

– If you’re gluten intolerant, look for gluten-free gravy solutions
