Poutine, Montreal’s beloved snack and late-night drunk food, gets the pulled pork treatment here. You start by cooking oven fries that—easily enough—you get from the freezer case, then topping with cheese curds and a mound of pulled pork. Ladle gravy over the top, pop the whole thing back in the oven briefly, just enough to melt the cheese, and you and your guests are ready to scarf. For a more leisurely, beefier version of this Canadian classic, check out our Poutine with Beef Gravy. And see more ways to use pulled pork beyond sandwiches.

Don’t forget you’ll need about 1/3 of our recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork and a full recipe of our Simple Pan Gravy.

Tips for Pork and Pulled Pork

Tip
How to Freeze Pork
Pork fares best in the freezer if packaged with freezer-friendly materials like waxed paper, aluminum foil, or heavy-duty plastic bags. Wrap any meat tightly so that air does not escape and freeze at 0°F. Generally, fresh cuts of pork can last up to six months, while ground pork can last up to three.

How to Thaw Pork
Pork is easiest to thaw when placed in the refrigerator in its original wrapping. Small roasts will take three to five hours per pound, while larger roasts can take up to seven hours per pound. Thawing ground pork depends entirely on the thickness of its packaging.

It is safe to cook frozen or partially-frozen pork, but its cooking time may take 50 percent longer. Frozen pork should not be cooked in a slow cooker.

Tip
How to Store Pork
Sealed pork products can typically last in the fridge for two to four days, with ground pork having a slightly shorter shelf life at one to three. Ham or other smoked pork products like bacon can be stored for up to a week, though this only applies to products that aren’t vacuum sealed or prepared with preservatives. The latter can obviously last a lot longer.

How to Freeze Pulled Pork
Because pulled pork is typically made in a slow cooker, chances are likely that you'll have excess meat. Cooled pork can be transferred to freezer bags, but be sure to leave at least an inch of space from the top. The frozen pork will expand and this will prevent the bag from splitting. You can also use airtight freezer containers.

Instructions

  1. 1Bake the French fries according to the package directions. Remove the fries when done but leave the oven on. Sprinkle the fries with kosher salt after baking and pile them onto an oven-safe serving platter.
  2. 2Top the fries with cheese curds, the warm pulled pork, and hot gravy. Pop the platter back in the oven until the curds melt, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve right away.
