When it comes to the holidays there is one thing we all have in common, leftovers! Some might even argue it's the best part!
Repurposing Thanksgiving or Christmas leftovers into new creations is so much delicious fun. This recipe uses leftover gravy to create the comfort food classic poutine!
Ingredients
Unlike the original version, this easy vegan poutine recipe uses all whole food plant based ingredients. Make sure you store your leftovers in quality containers to preserve freshness, like these Rubbermaid EasyFindLids™!

How to Make Vegan Poutine

- Pour hot poutine gravy all over.

Preparation Tips
- I used leftover gravy, homemade baked fries, and homemade vegan cheese curds; however, you can make it super easy by using frozen French fries, pre-made gravy, and store bought cheese.
- This vegan poutine recipe was written with the ratios I prefer, but feel free to adjust the amounts to your liking.
- Bake fries on parchment paper to make them extra crispy without the extra oil!
Prep Ahead and Storage Tips
This vegan poutine can be prepared in advance with a few steps:
- Make the gravy.
- Make the vegan cheese curds.
- Wash, cut, and soak the fries if you are making your own.
- Store each component in its own Rubbermaid EasyFindLids™ Container and keep in the refrigerator.
- Gravy can be kept for up to 4 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.
- The vegan cheese curds can be made up to 5 days ahead of time.
- The potatoes can be stored in their soaking water for up to 24 hours max, but the less time the better.
Best Storage Containers for Leftovers
When it comes to Thanksgiving leftovers, or any for that matter, Rubbermaid EasyFindLids™ are the best tools to do so! Here's just a few reasons why they are my first choice:
- The lids and bases snap together so no lost lids. Plus, one lid fits on multiple bases!
- The bases also nest beautifully to save space in your kitchen cabinets.
- The lids are vented so you can microwave leftovers easily with the lid on.
- These durable containers are also freezer-safe, top-rack dishwasher-safe, and microwave-safe!
Common Questions
Is poutine healthy?
In its classic form, no not exactly. However, by using vegan cheese curds, homemade vegan gravy, and baked french fries you can make a healthier version.
What can I substitute for cheese curds in poutine?
If you can't find cheese curds for poutine you can use any cheese or vegan cheese you like. It's best to rip chunks off a larger block with your hand to recreate the curd shape and size.
Where did poutine come from?
The dish consisting of french fries with gravy and cheese curds originated in Quebec in the 1950s. Over time it gained popularity throughout Canada and eventually made its way to the United States and around the world.
