Beef Fat French Fries Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into thick strips, about 1/4 inch wide. Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Heat the Beef Fat

   In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the beef fat (tallow) to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature.

3. 3

   Fry the Potatoes

   Carefully add the dried potato strips to the hot beef fat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Season and Serve

   While the fries are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve immediately alongside Bearnaise sauce for dipping.
