Season ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Cook ground beef in a frying pan until browned and cooked through.

Prepare special sauce by mixing mayonnaise, sugar, mustard, ketchup, sweet relish, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.

Heat oil in a frying pan for crinkle cut French fries.

Soak crinkle cut French fries in cold water to remove starch for crispiness.

Melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in flour until cooked through.

Gradually add milk to the butter and flour mixture, stirring to avoid lumps, until it thickens.

Add shredded cheddar cheese to the thickened milk mixture and stir until melted and smooth.

Adjust the thickness of the cheese sauce with more milk if necessary, adding garlic powder and onion powder to taste.

Drain the soaked French fries and fry them until golden and crispy.

Assemble the poutine by layering fries, ground beef, cheese sauce, and topping with special sauce.
