Poutine - Canadian French Fries with Cheese Curds in Brown Gravy

Poutine of decent quality and flavor can be made quickly using frozen or fast food french fries, packaged full-fat mozzarella cheese, and canned brown gravy. It can also be made even more authentic and tastier by using your own homemade French fries, cheddar cheese curds, and brown gravy. How ever you choose to make it, Poutine is a Canadian classic waiting to be eaten with a beer on the side.
