Local russets with fresh herbs & garlic aioli.

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniform sticks, about 1/4 inch thick.

Prepare the Potatoes

Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Soak the Potatoes

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

Preheat Duck Fat

Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Dry the Potatoes

Carefully add the dried potatoes to the hot duck fat in batches, frying for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Potatoes

While still hot, toss the fries with fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
