Tiny Tots, Big Highs: Weed Poutine Tapas Are Here

Mini munchies with maximum Canadian energy

Let’s be honest — poutine is already a national treasure. Crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds, hot gravy… it’s the edible hug we all need at 2 a.m. or during seasonal depression. But sometimes full-size poutine is just… a lot. What if you want something snackable? Something small? Something you can make while high, to get high?

Say hello to: Weed Poutine Tapas.
Tiny, crispy tater tots baked to golden glory, topped with warm cheese curds, and drenched in a mellow cannabis-infused gravy. All the comfort of classic poutine, but in perfect bite-sized form — and with a THC twist. It’s like your favourite food and your favourite edible shook hands and said, “Let’s make this weird.”

🇨🇦 Why Tapas? Why Tater Tots?

Because sometimes you want poutine, but you also want control.
Control over your dosage. Control over how many you eat. Control over not passing out mid-snack while watching Letterkenny. Tater tots are the hero we need — pre-cooked, crispy, bite-sized, and impossible to mess up. They’re the Timbit of the potato world. The underdog of the freezer aisle. And now? They’re edible royalty.

Also: they’re cute. And let’s face it — everything tastes better when it’s tiny and a little chaotic.

🛒 What You’ll Need (aka Your Stoner Grocery List)

Main ingredients:

• 1 bag frozen tater tots (get the good ones — you deserve it)

• 1 cup cheese curds (white, squeaky, ideally from Quebec, but we’re not judging)

• 1 cup beef or veggie gravy (homemade, jarred, or in a packet — this is a safe space)

Infusion options:

• Option A: THC oil or tincture (unflavoured)

• Option B: Cannabutter or cannabis-infused beef broth (if you’ve got it)

• Option C: DIY quick infusion (we’ll explain below)

👨‍🍳 How to Make Weed Poutine Tapas (Even If You’re Already Toasted)

1. Bake Those Tots

Toss your frozen tater tots on a baking sheet. Bake according to the package (usually 425°F for about 20–25 mins). Go for crispy — soggy tots are a crime in 7 provinces.

2. Warm the Gravy

While your tots are crisping, warm up your gravy in a saucepan over low heat. If using THC oil, stir it in gently once the gravy is warm, not boiling. You don’t want to overheat the cannabinoids — or end up with mystery doses.

👉 Dosing tip:
Add 1 dropper (~10mg THC) per ¼ cup gravy, or adjust based on how many servings you’re planning. Stir thoroughly to spread the chill evenly.

3. Load It Up

Once the tots are crispy, transfer them to a plate or serving board (bonus points for a wood plank if you’re feeling Muskoka brunch-core). Sprinkle with cheese curds while the tots are hot — they’ll melt just enough for that oof factor.

4. Gravy Time

Pour the infused gravy over top like you’re narrating your own Chef Reactions TikTok. Garnish with green onions, crushed chips, or, if you’re from the Prairies, ketchup chips. Live your truth.

🔥 Bonus: Got Weed But No Oil?

Here’s the thing — if you’ve got flower but no infused oil, you can still make it work:

1. Quick stovetop infusion:
   Simmer 1 tbsp of butter or oil with ½ gram decarbed weed over very low heat for 30–40 minutes. Strain and stir into your gravy.

2. Cannabis broth:
   Add weed to a simmering beef or veggie broth, cook for an hour, strain, and reduce. This works if you’re into culinary stoner wizardry.

🧠 THC Tips (So You Don’t End Up Talking to Your Toaster)

• Start low. 5–10mg per serving is plenty unless you’re training for the Stoner Olympics.

• Write down how much THC went in. Trust us, Future You will forget.

• Label leftovers if you store ‘em. Nothing like waking up to surprise poutine energy.

🧊 Storage? If You Have Any Left…

Honestly, we doubt it. But if you do:
Store leftover tots + curds in the fridge, and keep your infused gravy in a labeled airtight jar. Reheat gently and re-live the magic tomorrow.

🧦 What They Pair With:

• Schitt’s Creek reruns

• Sweatpants, blanket, and emotional support beverage

• Cottage nights

• Arguing over whether “bagged milk” is normal

• Literally any Friday after 3pm
