This really needs no intro.
Who needs to explain dessert porn?
Many of you have heard of poutine. It basically french fries with gravy. Well… I’ve always found it to be a bit overwhelming. I don’t love white potatoes or gravy. I do love sweet potatoes and almost anything sweet.
This is going to sound really strange… but I hand-on-the-Bible swear it’s good.
I kept it simple by using sweet potato crinkle fries from the frozen section at Fresh Market.
While they baked, I whipped up a quick peanut butter sauce. If you haven’t had sweet potatoes with nut butter… well, you’re missing out on a truly amazing #strangebutgood combo. Top all that with marshmallows and pop in under the broiler to achieve that crunchy s’more char.
Make this. You’ll be left licking the plate and moaning “I need ‘smore poutine!” 😉 .
Wow. That was corny, even for me.
S’Mores Poutine
- 1 serving sweet potato fries (I used the frozen variety)
- Peanut butter gravy (see below)
- Marshmallows
- Chocolate chips
Peanut Butter Gravy
- 2 T peanut flour (or nut buter)*
- 2 T unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 T pumpkin puree
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 4-5 drops vanilla liquid stevia
Bake the sweet potato fries according to package instructions on a piece of foil or parchment. Meanwhile, mix together Gravy ingredients in a small bowl.
Remove from oven and top with gravy, marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
Return to oven under broil for 1-2 mins. Watch it closely – it will burn! Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a plate.
*Note: I buy my peanut flour on iHerb. You can use discount code USO924 for $5019 off your order. You could also use protein powder or nut butter here. If you use regular nut butter you may want to reduce the amount of milk.

This is going to make for the perfect Labor Day weekend treat. Bonus points if you have a campfire to toast your ‘mallos over.
Have you ever had poutine?
What’s your favorite sweet potato topping?
Okay, I think I can do this. Just need some vegetarian marshmallows. Thank you, my mouth is officially watering.
That looks amazing, I know what I’m making tonight now! I normally pair sweet potatoes with savoury toppings, my favourite at the moment is sweet potato nachos, with homemade salsa and guacamole.
Thanks! Let me know what you think if you try it!
I am still having a hard time believing this is real life. I need to try this.
I hear it’s national marshmallow toasting day tomorrow (though, I don’t know what nation that is… let’s say it’s WORLD marshmallow toasting day) so uhh… this is happening. In my mouth. Thankyouthankyouthankyou in advance.
I heard that too! Is there a day for everything?!
I’m all about sweet potatoes and nut butter. I’m not a huge fan of marshmallows but this could persuade me. Yum! And FYI – I counted how many times I went to the bathroom on Wednesday. I lost count after 20! I pee A LOT!
Over 20?! I am impressed! How much water do you drink? A big, gallon-sized “cheers!” to you!
that looks amazing. would have never thought about using sweet potatoes for that.
Thanks! They’re really tasty!
Peanut Butter Gravy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put a patent on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Thank you. 🙂
What a twist on the poutine!
Holy YES! This is beyond amazing! Hmmmm I think my proyo bowl may be turned into poutine tonight!
Thank you! Did you try it???
OMG. I love poutine like dishes with normal potatoes but these may be the icing on the sweet….potatoes.
Sweet potatoes rule!!!!
Never knew what poutine was — now no others will compare!
When I read “smore poutine’ I thought, okay this is ether going to be really gross or really awesome, and coming from you, it’s always going to be really awesome 🙂 and it is!
Hahahaha! That’s maybe the best compliment I could get. 😉
Hot damn..this looks effin awesome! I love almond butter with sweet potatoes but lately I’ve been enjoying ’em with butter & cinnamon…heaven in my mouth!
OMG. I love poutine and this sounds like a delicious twist!
Totally on your “diet” too! 😉
Your poutine rocks my socks, I adore s’mores in every style, every flavour 😀
Yum!
Cheers

I’ve never had sweet potato and nut butter. I’m curious how this would taste. Gonna have to try it.
For real?! It’s like meant to be!!! You have to let me know how you like it if when you try it! 🙂
This sounds ridiculously good!!! I need to try it with some vegan marshmallows!
Thannks! Let me know f you do! 🙂
YUM YUM YUM. I could also see this being amazing with speculoos butter, for a hint of cinnamon. Goes well with sweet potatoes!
Gurrrrrl… I cannot allot that butter in my house. Can’t be trusted… LOL!
Oh my goodness gracious. You didn’t do this. Seriously. That looks amazing~
This sounds straight-up, ridiculously AMAZING!!! Please come to France and make it for me. 🙂
Twist my arm…
i love poutine… but half the reason is because i like saying it (12yr old here)
Seriously. I giggled through this whole post.
That’s interesting! I had poutine for the very first timelast year at the Toronto Marathon… was recommended “the spot” by a local. GOOD!
I hear Canada is “the” spot to have it! I’ve only had it here and in Chile, oddly enough…
Literally the only thing going through my mind right now is HOLY SHIT I NEED THIS.
Mwhahahaha! You must let me know if you try this one. I feel like I need your approval as a professional. 😉
Dessert porn. I love it, haha!! I think the sweet potato totally makes the dish!
I can’t think of any way poutine could be good at all (except yours of course). Because who likes soggy fries?? Fried have to be crispy on the outside, and soft in the middle! Fries + gravy=thumbs down
It can be good! If they fry the fries correctly (and in duck fat) they can remain crisp for a good while!
I am not a huge fan of gravy so never tried poutine – but your version with PB and pumpkin sounds fabulous! This smore poutine really takes the cake Laura! LOVE everything about this!
You should have tried the Asian version at Illegal Burgers – it was unreal!!!
Give me all the s’mores poutine! And then s’more. Oh this looks amazing.
Hahaha! That was awesome. 🙂 Thanks!
