This removes excess starch and helps them crisp up nicely.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Dry the Potatoes:<\/strong> Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Coat in Duck Fat:<\/strong> In a large bowl, toss the dry potato sticks with the duck fat until well coated. Season generously with salt.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Roasting the Fries:<\/strong> Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the fries are golden and crispy.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 2: Making the Gravy<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Melt the Butter:<\/strong> In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Create the Roux:<\/strong> Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until the mixture is golden and bubbly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Pour in the Stock:<\/strong> Gradually add the stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Thicken the Gravy:<\/strong> Allow the gravy to simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 3: Assembling the Poutine<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Layer the Ingredients:<\/strong> Once the fries are ready, transfer them to a large plate or serving dish. Top with cheese curds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Pour the Gravy:<\/strong> Generously ladle the hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds. The heat from the fries and gravy will partially melt the cheese.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Garnish and Serve:<\/strong> Garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Recipe Summary<\/h2>\n<p>This Duck Fat Poutine is undoubtedly a crowd-pleaser.
