Breakfast Poutine with Sausage Gravy

March 21, 2018 /

Who doesn’t love french fries…with practically anything on them? Fries serve as a perfect vehicle for all sorts of spreads, dips, cheeses, etc.- so why not for breakfast?! This Breakfast Poutine with Sausage Gravy is the ultimate unique option for anyone looking for a brunch alternative. 

Once in a while, we have to allow ourselves to indulge and my ULTIMATE weakness is a good french fry. Of course, you can never go wrong with the typical breakfast staples, but every so often, it is refreshing to see the ingredients we all know and love used in an unconventional way. 

This recipe is definitely a self- indulging one, but delicious nonetheless. Next time you are in need of something a little different for breakfast or brunch, this is the ultimate go-to and tastes even better than it looks, so run- don’t walk(!) to the grocery store, pick up these few simple ingredients (most of which, you already have in the house), and make this dish. You will not regret it!

HAND CUT DOUBLE FRIED FRENCH FRIES
  1. 3 Large Russet Potatoes (washed- Julienne cut)
  2. Vegetable Oil (in medium/large saucepot)
  3. Salt
SAUSAGE GRAVY
  1. 1/2 Pound Sweet Italian Pork Sausage- Casing removed (3-4 links)
  2. 1/4 Red Bell Pepper (small diced)
  3. 3 TBSP Butter
  4. 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
  5. 3 Cups Whole Milk
  6. 1 TBSP Maple Syrup
  7. 1/2 Tsp Fresh Sage
  8. 1/2 Tsp Fresh Parsley
  9. 1/2 Tsp Chopped Chives
  10. Kosher Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
FRIED EGG
  1. 1 Farm Egg
  2. 1 TSP Butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat a medium/large saucepot with vegetable oil. Cut russet potatoes into evenly sized strips. Once the oil has reached 350-375 degrees, drop the fries and cook until light golden brown and remove. While batches of fries are cooking (see notes), remove sausage casings and cook until golden brown and crumbled (breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks). Once sausage is near browning, toss in the diced red bell pepper and maple syrup. Cook until pepper is cooked through and sausage has good color (stirring often to avoid burning from the sugar in the maple syrup). Once cooked through, add butter and flour and stir for 2-3 minutes. Add milk (1 cup at a time) until the right consistency is reached. Add sage, parsley, salt, & pepper and keep on a low flame until dish is ready to serve- stirring occasionally.
  2. While the gravy is cooking, add fries back into the hot oil to fry a second time until they become a darker golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil, toss with salt, and set onto a serving dish. In a small non-stick pan over medium heat, melt 1 tsp of butter and add a fresh egg once the butter has melted (crack egg into a bowl first to be sure the yolk doesn't break before placing it into the pan). Partially cover the pan with the egg so the clear liquid steams and cooks through without flipping. Once the egg is finished, ladle sausage gravy onto the hand cut fries and top with the fried egg, black pepper, & chives. Serve hot.
Notes
  1. *Cook fries in small batches to avoid sticking or overcrowding the pot
  2. *Save time by using store bought fries from the frozen food section of your local grocery store.
