Poutine

Again watching either Food Network or Travel Channel I saw something that simply could not be bad... maybe bad for you but not taste bad! Up in Canada they have what they call "poutine".

Fried potatoes topped with cheese curd and smothered in gravy. Cheese curd is not something I am familiar with but I think it's something like the chunky parts in cottage cheese.
To me cheese is worthy of being its own food group, it's hard to mess up anything using a spud and gravy is the original Ambrosia, the food of the gods.

As usual I started with the basic recipe then added my own touches to it. Hey, I'm a carnivore!
I fried a handful of seasoning bacon misc. chunks and pieces for the porky fat and flavor. A pound of ground beef made 3 more or less 5 ounce patties for burgers with the leftover ounce getting crumbled into the pan for later gravy making. Then I quick sauteed a bit of onion in the pan.
As I made my gravy in the skillet  I cooked up a couple spuds in my deep fryer. As they came out of the grease I dusted em with sea salt, garlic powder, fresh cracked black and crushed red pepper flake. Most rednecks won't admit to tasting much less liking cottage cheese but I love it. I fetched a bowl, drained the curds from the whey in my cottage cheese, added shredded sharp Cheddar, Swiss and Mozzarella... more or less equal parts each to make about 1 part cheese to every 2 parts spud.
I loaded most of the spuds onto a plate, added some cheese mix then the rest of the spuds and the rest of the cheese then slathered it all down with bacon/beef/onion gravy...
The only thing that could possibly make this better would be mushrooms!
