1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into long strips, about 1/4 inch thick, to create fries.
2
Soak the Potatoes
Place the cut potato strips in a large bowl of cold water. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

3
Heat the Beef Fat
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour in the rendered beef fat and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature.
4
Dry the Potatoes
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible to avoid splattering when frying.
5
Fry the Potatoes
Carefully add a batch of the dried potato strips to the hot beef fat, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
6
Season the Fries
While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt and any optional seasonings, such as black pepper, garlic powder, or paprika, to taste. Toss gently to coat.
7
Serve
Serve the beef fat fries immediately while hot and crispy, with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
