CANADIAN POUTINE

from Danick Dupelle, guitarist for Emerson Drive
Recipe
Ingredients:
20 new potatoes, boiled with skins on and refrigerated overnight
olive oil for frying
Wisconsin White Cheese Curds OR Mozzarella cut into small cubes or
    shredded
1 to 2 pounds ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 can beef broth
1/2 can water
salt and pepper
a pinch of cayenne pepper
2 spoonsful cornstarch mixed in a bit of water for thickening
 
Directions:
1.  Cut potatoes into small cubes and fry them in a skillet like homefries. (It is important that the boiled potatoes are refrigerated overnight so that they keep their shape when frying.) Set aside.

2.  Brown the beef with the onions.

3.  Meanwhile, make the gravy. In a saucepan over medium-high heat place beef broth, water, salt and pepper to taste, and cayenne. Stir to combine. When the broth begins to boil, add the cornstarch/water mixture and stir until thickened. Adjust seasoning.

To serve: In small cereal bowls place a layer of potatoes, then a layer of the meat/onion mixture, then a layer of cheese, and pour gravy over the top. Serve hot!
