Mushrooms Bacon Poutine

Mushrooms Bacon Poutine Recipe

Poutine is a classic Canadian dish from Quebec. There are a lot of varieties. Home-made potatoes are fried until crisp. You can buy ready-made French fries to save your time, but with homemade potatoes it tastes better. The cheese we use is Mozzarella. It melts slightly when you pour the sauce over it. Poutine is ideal with beer. The composition of the Poutine can be anything. It also translates to “mess”, so you are not limited in the combination of ingredients. We decided to use bacon, fresh mushrooms and celery for our Poutine.

2. Fry the bacon until crisp.

3. Make the broth yourself or buy it ready-made.

Continue to evaporate the sauce until you are satisfied with the consistency of the density.

5. Cut the potatoes into long, thin slices. Deep fry or fry in a frying pan in a large amount of oil.

6. Cut the celery and mozzarella cheese into small pieces.

Serving: put potatoes on a plate, sprinkle celery and cheese on top, and mushrooms. Pour the sauce liberally. Serve the dish hot.

Bon Appetit!
