This is one of my favourite comfort foods. When I’m having a bad day, I don’t want a bowl of salad. I want a big plate of fries, smothered in gravy and cheese.
I rarely eat this way, but when I do, I don’t scrimp.
This vegan poutine is really simple, mostly because I cheat by using vegan cheese shreds. The only thing I have to make myself are the fries and gravy.
Which, thankfully, are very, very easy.
So, if you’re having a bad day, dig in to a plate of vegan poutine. And enjoy every scrumptious minute of it. Then – start eating healthy again immediately afterward!

Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
Fries
- 2 large or 3 medium russet potatoes, cut unto wedges or thin strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper, to taste
Gravy
- 3 tbsp vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
- 2 tbsp flour (I used whole wheat)

Other Items
- ½-1 cup vegan cheese shreds (I used Daiya mozzarella shreds)
Instructions
Fries
- Pre-heat your oven to 425F.
- In a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over your fries, and mix together well. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Arrange on a baking sheet and cook for about 20-30 minutes (depending on how thick you made your fries), turning once. Remove from oven once they are cooked and divide between 2-4 plates.
Gravy
- Heat a small pot over medium heat.
- Add in the vegan butter, and once it has melted add in the flour. Whisk together until no clumps remain, and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the vegetable broth, mustard and soy sauce and whisk again.
- Let the gravy thicken for a few minutes.
Putting it all together
- On top of your cooked fries, add vegan cheese shreds, then pour the thickened gravy over top. Enjoy immediately.

Hello,
Firstly, thank you for this recipe. I don’t know how many times I did it since I discovered it. It’s simply delicious and I don’t even feel guilty eating it. Secondly, I was wondering if you would let me traduce the gravy part in french and publish it on my blog so my readers could also appreciate it. I would give you all the credits for it, of course.
Thank you in advance and have a good day!
It insults my intelligence to call those fries.
I’ve tried soooooo many vegan gravies and this one does “knock your socks off”!! It’s perfect – and so easy to make.
Thank you, thank you! You are my new FAVORITE vegan chef!! xoxo
this is life changing. one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. my favorite part is that it serves 2-4 and i eat the whole serving by myself every time. thank you!!!
