Homemade Lobster Poutine is a gourmet take on the classic Canadian dish, featuring crispy fries, rich gravy, melted cheese curds, and tender chunks of lobster for an indulgent, crowd-pleasing appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes (or 1 lb frozen fries)
  • 1 cup cooked lobster meat, chopped
  • 1 cup cheese curds (or small mozzarella cubes)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 1/2 cups beef, chicken, or seafood stock
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp oil (for baking or air frying fries, if using fresh potatoes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fries: Cut potatoes into fries, rinse, pat dry, and toss with oil and a pinch of salt. Bake or air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and crispy. If using frozen fries, cook according to package instructions.
  2. Make the gravy: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in stock and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Simmer until thickened, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Warm the lobster: Gently warm lobster meat in a pan or microwave until just heated through.
  4. Assemble: Place hot fries on a platter, top with cheese curds, pour over hot gravy, then add warm lobster pieces.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, assemble the poutine just before serving so the fries stay crispy.
  • Seafood stock enhances the lobster flavor but any stock works well.
  • Cheese curds can be substituted with mild, melty cheeses like mozzarella.
  • Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.
