Other Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice your potatoes into sticks then toss in olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Spread out your potatoes over a baking tray and bake at 425f for 35-40 minutes until golden, tossing halfway through. You could also air fry in batches at 400f for 15 minutes.
- Blend the ingredients for your cheese together and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes stirring continuously. The mixture will thicken and become stringy, cheesy and melty!
- Next, make your gravy! Combine all of the ingredients into a pot, whisk and bring to a simmer. Add in the cornstarch slurry and whisk for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken.
- Slice your tempeh into strips and marinate it for 10 minutes, then pan fry for a few minutes on each side until golden.
- Assemble your poutine with the crispy fries on bottom. Top with your cheese curds, gravy, smoky tempeh and chives and enjoy!
