Notes
<div class="recipe-tips-column">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.</div>
<div class="recipe-tips-column">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.</div>
<div class="recipe-tips-column">If you prefer, you can mix 2 teaspoons beef base with 2 cups hot water in place of the beef broth.</div>
