While simple in Poutine’s ingredients (there are only three after all) it’s all about their quality. In an ideal world, one would make their own fries, their own gravy and use the freshest of the fresh cheese curds (like made-the-same-day fresh), but this recipe takes advantage of the air fryer to create crispy fries on which to top your homemade gravy and plump cheese curds.
