Potato Skin Poutine is a delicious and savory Canadian comfort food that is sure to warm you up on a cold day. It is made with crispy potato skins, creamy cheese curds, and savory gravy, and is often topped with bacon and green onions for added flavor and texture. This dish originated in Quebec and is now a beloved staple across Canada, and even beyond. While it is not the healthiest meal, it is a great indulgence for a special occasion or treat. In this recipe, we use homemade gravy made from scratch, but you can also use store-bought gravy for a shortcut.

2.Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
3.Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5-7 minutes or until it thickens.
4.Cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides to create a potato skin bowl.
5.Top the potato skins with a generous amount of cheese curds and drizzle the gravy over the top.
6.Garnish with bacon crumbles and green onions, and serve hot.
