Ingredients:
– 1 cup of frozen hash browns
– 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
– 1 cup of cheese curds
– 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup of milk
– 1/4 cup of water
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1/2 cup of chicken or beef broth
– 1/4 cup of butter
– 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
– 1/4 teaspoon of mustard powder
– 1/4 teaspoon of paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the frozen hash browns on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, set them aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cheese curds and cook until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the cheese curds from the skillet and set them aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, water, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken or beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, and paprika. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the flour mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
6. Season the gravy with additional salt and pepper to taste.
7. To assemble the breakfast poutine, place a layer of crispy hash browns on a plate. Top with the cheese curds and pour the gravy over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
