This is a nice change from regular poutine in that it uses marinara sauce in place of the beef gravy. Not sure if it could ever beat the original, but I like it for a variation once and awhile. Be sure to use real cheese curds or it is just not a poutine. If you ever have the opporuntity to go to Quebec, stop at one of the casse croutes along the highway and order a real, French-Canadian potine. You will NOT be disappointed!
Ingredients:
1 quart vegetable oil (for frying)
10 1/4 ounces spaghetti sauce
5 medium potatoes, cut into fries
2 cups cheese curds
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
2. Warm spaghetti sauce in saucepan or microwave.
3. Place the fries into the hot oil, and cook until light brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
5. Place the fries on a serving platter, and sprinkle the cheese over them.
6. Ladle spaghetti sauce over the fries and cheese, and serve immediately.
7. Top with a bit of parmesan cheese.
