Preheat oven to prepare French fries. Resume the rest of the recipe, however when the oven is preheated, add the fries and cook according to the package instructions.

Prepare a double boiler (I use a steel mixing bowl sitting on top of a saucepan that is partially filled with water). Add half the cubed cheese to the double boiler, and stir occasionally to melt (this may take about 10-15 minutes).

After starting the cheese, begin preparation of the gravy in a small saucepan.

When the first half of the cheese is nearly melted, add the remaining half of cubed cheese pieces and continue to cook to heat the cheese. The Follow Your Heart brand cheese takes a while to melt, and the result should be some melted cheese and some cheese “curds.”

Assemble poutine by placing fries in serving bowls. Then pour on the cheese, and add hot gravy to each dish. Serve immediately, piping hot.
