Ingredients

  • 2 large baking potatoes
  • ½ tablespoon butter divided
  • 1 packet brown or poutine-style gravy
  • cheese curds
  • potato sticks
  • chives or parsley for garnish
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Bake your potatoes in your preferred manner. See below for a variety of baking styles.
  • Once finished and cool enough to handle but still warm, cut the potatoes in half, leaving the bottom attached.
  • At this point, prepare the brown gravy according to package instructions.
  • Rub the butter against the interior edges of the potatoes until melted.
  • Add cheese curds in the middle of the potatoes, as much or little as you want.
  • Drizzle brown gravy over potatoes to taste (I like a lot of gravy!).
  • Garnish with black pepper, parsley, and/or chives as desired.
  • You can stick the potatoes in an oven safe pan or plate and put under the broiler for 2 minutes to reheat or make the cheese curds a little meltier if you desire.
  • Right before serving, top with potato sticks to taste.
  • Serve immediately!
