This hearty Little Potato poutine is a fun twist on a classic comfort food, made easier with A Little Garlic & Parsley™ Microwave Ready Little Potatoes that cook up quickly and pair perfectly with melty cheese and rich gravy. Customize it with pantry swaps like shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cooking from scratch, or use store-bought gravy to save time. Want to make it even simpler? Pre-shredded cheese and frozen peppers work just as well.

Kid-Friendly Tips & Involvement
-
Flavor tweaks: For picky eaters, use mild cheese blends and lighter gravy. Keep toppings separate so kids can choose their own.
-
Get kids involved: Little chefs can sprinkle cheese over hot potatoes, layer on toppings, or stir together the gravy.
-
Fun serving idea: Create “mini poutine cups” by letting kids build their own portions in muffin tins for a playful, hands-on meal.
