Ingredients

24 oz. Tasteful Selections® 1-Bite or 2-Bite potatoes
1 tbsp. olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tbsp. butter
3 chopped green onions
½ tsp. garlic powder
2 c. beef broth
1 tsp. beef base, if desired
2 tbsp. cornstarch
8 oz. white Cheddar cheese curds, torn into bite-size pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425-degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Toss potatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on baking pan; roast 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
Meanwhile, melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in garlic powder, broth, and beef base. Mix cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water until well blended.
Bring broth mixture to a boil; whisk in the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly until gravy is thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve hot potatoes in shallow bowls, topped with cheese curds and a spoonful of gravy, sprinkled with green onions.

Recipe Tips

Poutine, a favorite diner food or filling snack in the hockey arenas of Canada, has made a huge appearance in the U.S. Typically made with French fries, roasted whole bite-size potatoes are an even better homemade option—no deep fryer needed.

Stirring in an extra spoonful of beef base into the gravy will enrich it. But go ahead and serve up your favorite jarred gravy if you’re pressed for time.

If you prefer, you can mix 2 teaspoons beef base with 2 cups hot water in place of the beef broth.
