1
Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized fries, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

2
Preheat the Duck Fat
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the duck fat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to ensure the right temperature.
3
Dry the Potatoes
Once the fries have soaked, drain and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add the dried fries to the hot duck fat in batches. Fry for about 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Be sure to stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fries from the duck fat and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to taste.
