Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 0.5 package frozen tater tots (28 ounce)
  • 0.5 package frozen French fries (28 ounce)
For the Hollandaise Sauce
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 0.5 lemon, juiced
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and clarified if desired
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1-3 tablespoons chicken stock, warmed optional
  • to taste salt and pepper
For the Scrambled Eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • to taste salt and pepper
For Assembly
  • 6 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 8 ounces breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese curds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • stainless steel bowl
  • Pot
  • Whisk
  • nonstick pan
  • Rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Spread the tater tots and French fries in a single layer on two baking sheets. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are browned and crisp.
  3. To make the hollandaise sauce: Place the egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl. Whisk them together until the mixture doubles in volume. Set this bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the melted butter until it is fully incorporated and the sauce is thick and smooth. The sauce will gradually thicken as you add the butter. Stir in the cayenne pepper and season with salt and pepper to your taste. Remove from heat, cover the surface directly with plastic wrap, and set aside.
  4. For the scrambled eggs: Heat the butter in a nonstick pan over medium to medium-low heat. Add the beaten eggs and stir with a rubber spatula. Continue stirring until small curds form and the eggs are just set. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. To assemble: Combine the baked tater tots and fries, scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, crumbled sausage, and cheese curds in a bowl. Spread this mixture onto a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 minute, or until the cheese curds melt.
  6. Remove the poutine from the broiler. Drizzle generously with the hollandaise sauce and finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

This dish is best served immediately to enjoy the crispiness of the fries and tots and the melted cheese.
