Ingredients
  

For the Poutine Base
  • ½ package frozen tater tots (28 ounce)
  • ½ package frozen French fries (28 ounce)
For the Hollandaise Sauce
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ 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 thinly sliced green onions

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • stainless steel bowl
  • Pot
  • nonstick pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Spread tater tots and French fries onto 2 baking sheets in a single layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until browned and crisped.
  3. For hollandaise sauce: Place egg yolks and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl and whisk until the mixture doubles in volume. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Whisk constantly while slowly adding the melted butter in a steady stream until the hollandaise is thick and smooth. Add cayenne pepper and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, cover the surface directly with plastic wrap, and set aside.
  4. For scrambled eggs: Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium to medium-low heat. Add beaten eggs and stir with a rubber spatula until small curds form and the eggs are just set. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. To assemble: Toss together the baked tater tots, French fries, scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, crumbled sausage, and cheese curds. Spread this mixture onto a baking sheet. Broil for 1 minute, or until the cheese curds melt.
  6. Remove the poutine from the broiler. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and top with 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.
