Duck Fat French Fries Recipe

Duck Fat French Fries Directions

1. 1

   Preparation

   Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

2. 2

   Soaking

   Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and results in crispier fries.

3. 3

   Drying

   Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.

4. 4

   Heating Duck Fat

   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the duck fat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Frying

   Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot duck fat in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Draining

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the duck fat and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

7. 7

   Seasoning

   While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

8. 8

   Serving

   Serve immediately, and enjoy your crispy Duck Fat French Fries!
