How to make Southern Sausage Breakfast Poutine

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 medium Idaho® russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons lard, melted (See note below)
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pound pork breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons lard
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
1/4 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon milk
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • Place potatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle lard over potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat potatoes.
  • Spread potatoes out to an even layer. Bake until browned and crispy, about 40 minutes. Flip potatoes with a spatula every 10 minutes to ensure even browning.
  • Add onions after 20 minutes of cooking (to prevent them from over-browning).
  • Place a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up and stirring with a spoon until browned and fully cooked.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked sausage from skillet to a bowl.
  • Add 2 tablespoons lard, or enough to make about 3 tablespoons fat when combined with pan drippings, into the skillet and let melt.
  • Add flour, one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly to make a roux.
  • Continue to cook roux, stirring constantly, for two minutes.
  • Slowly add milk, stirring or whisking constantly, until combined.
  • Cook until gravy thickens and just begins to boil, about 5 minutes.
  • Add salt, pepper, and cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Place butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. When butter has melted use a spatula or spoon to spread butter in pan.
  • Add egg mixture. Cook, stirring slowly and gently, until eggs are just cooked (they should look slightly wet and soft). Do not over-cook the eggs in the skillet.
  • Place potatoes in the bottom of a bowl or on a plate. Spoon sausage gravy over potatoes. Top with cheese eggs.
