Mushroom Bacon Alfredo Poutine Recipe
What’s not to love about this Mushroom Bacon Alfredo Poutine Recipe – a big glorious plate of Canadian-inspired, gravy-soaked fries. Only no gravy this time. Instead, we’re topping it with a buttery alfredo sauce, bacon and fried mushrooms.
25 Minutes
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 6 slices peppered bacon, chopped
- 1 pinto nameko mushrooms
- 900g frozen french fries (or 3 large starchy potatoes, cut into fries)
- 1 cup coconut oil, for frying*
- 1 cup olive or avocado oil, for frying*

Method

- In a large pot, melt oils over medium-high heat. Add the fries, cooking them until they’re golden.*
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic, cooking until aromatic, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the flour, then slowly whisk in the cream.
