Sweet Potato Poutine
Serves 2
About this recipe
Poutine is a legendary snack food in Quebec. It’s essentially cheesy chips with smoked meat, covered in more cheese. The “heart attack” of all snacks if there was one! I’ve tried it and despite the fact that it should come with a health warning, it’s undeniably moreish and tasty. I decided to make a healthier twist on this Québécois favourite, by using some interesting ingredients and flavours to match the indulgence of the actual dish.
