Start by frying your potatoes or hash browns according to the package instructions. If you are making your own hash browns microwave them first before frying to cut down on time. When they are done frying transfer them to an oven safe dish or a bowl that can be microwaved to keep them warm.
While your potatoes are frying you can cut whatever vegetables you choose. I used a mixture of green pepper, onions and tomato, but this is totally optional. You could also add green onions, mushrooms or jalapenos if you like a kick
When your potatoes are done its time to move onto the bacon. If you don't have access to fresh bacon you could easily use bacon bits or microwave bacon. You could also swap out the bacon for ham or turkey. Fry the bacon to your desired state (Some people like their bacon extra crispy, some like it soft)
Hollandaise Sauce : If you don't have access to premade or packaged hollandaise sauce, separate your egg yolks from the white before frying your eggs. Scramble your eggs your favorite way Instructions for making your own hollandaise are in the next step
Whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together in a stainless steel bowl and until the mixture is thickened and doubled in volume. Place the bowl over a saucepan containing barely simmering water (or use a double boiler,) the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl. Continue to whisk rapidly. Be careful not to let the eggs get too hot or they will scramble. Slowly drizzle in the melted butter and continue to whisk until the sauce is thickened and doubled in volume. Remove from heat, whisk in cayenne and salt. Cover and place in a warm spot until ready to use. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.
Build your poutine - you can use all your ingredients at once or layer like you are build lasagna Start with a layer of hash browns, top with cheese, eggs and vegetables, finish with hollandaise sauce and bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Alternate recipes include using salsa and ground beef to make a taco boat or gravy and cheese to make classic poutine.
