Tips & Tricks

- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add more herbs or spices for a bolder flavor.
Serving advice
Serve the Homestyle Poutine Gravy hot over a plate of crispy French fries and cheese curds. The gravy should generously coat the fries, creating a deliciously messy and satisfying dish.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley or green onions on top of the poutine. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
