Fries

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries. Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Duck Fat

    In a small saucepan, melt the duck fat over low heat. Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary to infuse the flavors for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Drain and Dry

    After soaking, drain the potato strips and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. 5

    Coat the Fries

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato strips with the infused duck fat, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the fries are evenly coated.

  3. 6

    Bake the Fries

    Spread the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve hot as a side or snack.
