Adults and youth aged 13 and older typically require an average of 2,000 calories per day to meet their energy needs. Children between the ages of 4 and 12 generally need around 1,500 calories daily. However, these are only averages, and individual calorie needs may vary depending on various factors.

Calories & Nutrition Insights

The Burger King Hash Brown Poutine contains 510 calories. It delivers 32 g fat (with 11 g saturated fat), 45 g carbohydrates, 4 g fiber, 12 g protein, and 1,510 mg sodium.

At 510 kcal, this item is a substantial, calorie-dense side — more filling than a plain hash brown but not as heavy as a fully loaded classic poutine. For comparison, a medium Burger King hash brown runs around ≈431 kcal, while a classic BK poutine is substantially higher at roughly ≈740 kcal.

Most of the energy comes from fat and carbs. About 32 g of fat equals roughly 288 calories from fat, and the 45 g of carbs provide about 180 calories from carbohydrates, so the dish’s texture and satiety come from both grease and starch. The 11 g saturated fat is noteworthy — it meaningfully contributes to the dish’s “heaviness.”

Sodium is a key highlight here. At 1,510 mg, this poutine supplies about 66% of the common 2,300 mg daily sodium guideline, so it’s a high-salt choice and not ideal if you are limiting sodium.

Protein (12 g) is modest — enough to add some staying power compared with fries, but it won’t replace a protein-forward meal like a sandwich or breakfast sandwich. Fiber (4 g) helps a little with fullness, but it’s still a low-fiber pick overall.

Actionable takeaways: treat the poutine as an indulgent breakfast side or small standalone snack rather than a healthful daily choice. If you want fewer calories or less sodium, choose a plain hash brown (smaller size) or skip extra salty sides.

Pairing Suggestions

Hash Brown Poutine is rich and savory. These menu pairings from Burger King Canada help you balance, brighten, or double down on that comfort-food flavor.

BK Iced Coffee (or S’mores Iced Coffee) — Cold coffee cuts through the gravy’s fattiness and refreshes the palate between bites. The slight bitterness of coffee makes the cheese curds taste less heavy and keeps the breakfast combo lively.
Coca-Cola or Coke Zero / Diet Coke — Fizzy soda lifts the rich mouthfeel and adds a sweet-acid contrast that makes each bite feel lighter. Coke Zero or Diet Coke gives the same cleansing fizz with far fewer calories.
Strawberry Lemonade or Mango Peach Lemonade — Bright, fruity acidity from a lemonade balances the salty, savory gravy. The fruit notes add freshness and make the dish feel less one-note.
Dasani Water or Gold Peak Iced Tea — Plain water or unsweetened iced tea is the low-fuss option to wash down salt and fat without adding sugar. Tea brings a mild tannin that pairs surprisingly well with cheesy, gravy-heavy items.
Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissan’wich (or Egg & Cheese English Muffin) — Add a breakfast sandwich to turn the poutine into a filling morning meal. The egg and sausage add protein and make the combo more sustaining.
Medium Have-sies (Fries + Onion Rings) or Medium Onion Rings — If you want more texture and variety, Have-sies gives both fries and rings for sharing. Onion rings add a sweet, crunchy contrast that complements the soft hash browns.
Soft Serve Cone or Strawberry Sundae — A cold soft serve or sundae provides a sweet, cooling finish that cleanses the palate after rich gravy. It’s an easy way to end on a lighter dessert note.
Mozzarella Fries or Garlic Parmesan Chicken Fries (indulgent choice) — Pairing another cheesy or savory side makes the meal decadently indulgent and great for sharing. Expect a heavier, high-salt combo — perfect if you want an all-out comfort feast.
3pc French Toast Sticks or Pancakes — For a sweeter breakfast pairing, syrupy French toast sticks or pancakes contrast the savory poutine and create a true sweet-and-salty morning plate.

Choose a pairing based on your goal: balance the richness with citrus or tea, make it a full breakfast with a sandwich, or treat yourself with a sweet finish.

Taste & Texture

The Burger King poutine brings together a mix of comforting flavors and hearty textures. The hash browns are golden and crispy on the outside, with a soft, fluffy potato inside that soaks up the gravy. Each bite starts with a satisfying crunch before giving way to tender, warm potato.

The rich brown gravy is savory and slightly salty, coating the hash browns in a smooth, velvety layer. It adds warmth and depth that makes the dish feel indulgent. The cheese curds are soft and slightly chewy, melting just enough from the heat to create creamy pockets of flavor.

Together, the crisp hash browns, silky gravy, and gooey cheese curds create a balanced bite of crunch, creaminess, and richness.

Price Comparison

The Burger King Hash Brown Poutine is priced at $4.19, putting it in a similar range as other breakfast and snack-style sides at Burger King. Compared to other items in the poutine category, here’s how it stacks up:

Classic Poutine – Priced the same at $4.19, both this poutine and Classic Poutine share equal value. The real difference comes down to the base—crispy hash browns versus traditional fries.
Bacon Poutine – At $5.29, the Bacon Poutine is slightly more expensive because of the added bacon topping. If you want extra flavor and protein, it costs about a dollar more than the Hash Brown Poutine.
Large Fries – A large fries order costs $3.99, making it just slightly cheaper than this poutine. For only 20 cents more, the poutine gives you gravy and cheese curds, making it feel like better value.
Onion Rings – Also priced at $3.99, Onion Rings are a touch cheaper. However, the poutine offers a more indulgent, saucy experience, while onion rings are lighter and crispier.

Overall, the Burger King poutine is mid-range priced. It’s more indulgent and satisfying than basic sides like fries or onion rings, yet more affordable than premium loaded options like Bacon Poutine.

Better Alternatives

If you want to switch things up from Hash Brown Poutine, here are some good alternatives to match different goals:

Burger King Hash Browns (plain) — For a lighter option, skip the gravy and cheese and go with just the classic hash browns. You’ll cut calories and sodium while keeping that crispy potato base.
Fiery Chicken Fries (5- or 9-piece) — If you’re in the mood for heat, these seasoned, spicy chicken fries offer a kick and a protein boost. They’re a good alternative when you want something bolder than the mild poutine.
Burger King Poutine (classic fries + curds + gravy) — To get more filling comfort without changing flavors too much, classic poutine is a natural swap. You trade the hash-brown base for fries, which some may prefer in texture.
Mozzarella Fries Snack Box — For more indulgence, cheesy sticks coated in a crispy shell make a rich, shareable treat. It’s more decadent but fits the same side/snack category.
8 Pc Dragon Mozzarella Fries — If you want both spice and cheese, this limited side adds Calabrian chili flavor to crispy mozzarella—an exciting twist for someone who finds hash brown poutine a bit tame.
Onion Rings (Medium or Large) — Want something with crunch but less heavy sauce? Onion rings add crisp texture and sweetness without the full gravy load.
