Description

The origin of the Poutine recipe

The poutine recipe originated in rural Quebec in the 1950s and has since become popular throughout Quebec. Its exact origin is very controversial as many localities dispute its origin !

The most common story is that it originated in a restaurant formerly called "Le Lutin qui rit in Warwick", in the MRC of Arthabaska. According to the legend, in 1957, a customer named Eddy Lainesse asked the owner Fernand Lachance to put the cheese and fries in the same bag and the owner replied: "It will make a damned poutine", hence the name which means "strange mixture".

Take advantage of winter to enjoy a steaming, comforting Quebec poutine

Our tips for preparation !

  • Use Russet potatoes for the fries
  • Cut them into sticks and fry them twice for a crispy texture
  • Assemble the poutine by placing the fries in a serving dish, adding chunks of cheese curds, pouring in the hot sauce and letting it sit to allow the cheese to melt
  • Optionally, add toppings such as bacon or fried onions
