Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • ½ package frozen tater tots (28 ounce)
  • ½ package frozen French fries (28 ounce)
For the Hollandaise Sauce
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and clarified if desired
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1-3 tablespoons chicken stock, warmed optional
  • to taste salt and pepper
For the Scrambled Eggs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • to taste salt and pepper
For Assembly
  • 6 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 8 ounces breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 ounces cheddar cheese curds
  • 2 thinly sliced green onions

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • stainless steel bowl
  • heatproof glass bowl
  • saucepan
  • nonstick pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425˚F.
  2. Spread tater tots and French fries into a single layer on 2 baking sheets. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tots and fries are browned and crisped.
  3. For hollandaise sauce: Place egg yolks and lemon juice into a bowl. Whisk together until the mixture doubles in volume. Place mixture over a pot with simmering water (ensure the water does not touch the bottom of your bowl). Whisk continuously while slowly adding the melted butter in a steady stream until fully incorporated and the hollandaise is thick and smooth. Add cayenne pepper and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, cover the surface directly with plastic wrap, and set aside.
  4. For scrambled eggs: Heat a nonstick pan over medium to medium-low heat and melt butter. Add eggs and stir with a spatula until small curds form and the eggs just set. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. To assemble: Toss together tots, fries, eggs, bacon, sausage, and cheese curds. Spread onto a baking sheet. Broil for 1 minute, or until curds melt.
  6. Remove poutine from broiler. Drizzle with hollandaise sauce and finish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
